Through the trees... by marlboromaam

Through the trees...

My neighbor's seasonal pond has reappeared after all the rain we got with Debby. I expected to hear a chorus of the eastern spade-foot toads, but no. Wonder if the heat has kept them down in the ground.
Looks very froggy

That’s quite a pond.

Looks like a lot of water

Wonderful light in the woods and a nice glimpse of the pond.

Nice!

Lovely capture, shame about the toads

How fabulous that looks, I love the trees too.

The X marks the spot where you can see the pond now.

Cool looking shot.

@pusspup You would think that. =)

@wakelys Size varies - depending on the amount of rain.

@danette My rain gauge said nearly eight inches with Debby.

@dkellogg Thank you very much, David.

@photographycrazy Thanks!

@bigmxx Thank you, Michelle.

@ludwigsdiana Thank you, Diana.

@rontu Hah! You're the only one that remarked about those X trees. =)

@mittens Thank you, Marilyn.

That's a mini-lake! Nice view through the crossover of the two trees. I love it when frogs do their croaking symphonies.
August 22nd, 2024  
Nice

Nicely caught, ooh that cross, Bigfoot 🤭?

@cocokinetic Thank you, Karen. =)

@joansmor Thank you, Joan.

@craftymeg LOL! It does look like a Bigfoot. Thank you, Margaret.

Gorgeous woods, and tall trees… I wonder what lives in the pond?
August 22nd, 2024  
That’s quite a good size pond

@beverley365 Thank you, Beverley. It's dry most of the time. It only appears when we've had lots of rain and that's normally when the eastern spade-foot toads surface to sing and mate.

@rensala It is, until it dries up. =)

I see a cross.
August 22nd, 2024  
Nice to see the water through the trees.
August 22nd, 2024  
@illinilass X marks the spot. =)

@robz Thank you very much, Rob.

How lovely to have a seasonal pond
August 23rd, 2024  
Quite a pond there. I like how you captured the tree trunk crossing vertically from one side to the other of the frame.
August 23rd, 2024  
A great place that holds water for longer.
August 23rd, 2024  
@kjarn It is and it isn't. Mosquitos breed in standing water. =(

@sangwann Thank you, Dione.

@haskar It will dry up soon enough.
August 23rd, 2024  
Lovely
August 23rd, 2024  
@briaan Thank you very much, Brian. Very kind of you.
August 23rd, 2024  
That is certainly unusual seeing trunks making a cross such as this. I think this image is worth working on because it is different. Could you remove the fencing and maybe enhance the pond?

@marshwader Thanks for the critique Madeleine. No time for long drawn out edits these days - sadly!
