Pond Resident, Beaver Island's Upper East Side

Vickey and I did a morning hike in waders, into a pond to find creatures. A most successful morning of frogs and dragon flies, primarily. This little fellow made me laugh -- what an expression! And he seemed to be reaching out to shake hands.
Wishing everyone a great weekend.
Wonderful capture ... You two must have been Ninja Waders to not scare him off.

Getting into the pond is above and beyond Taffy! Lol! You must have been very stealthy not to frighten all the wildlife off! Great capture - he has such a wonderful expression! You are taking your wildlife photography very seriously! I have to laugh at the image in my mind! I wish someone had taken a shot of the two of you in the pond! Fav!

He's eyeballing you!! very intense shot. You focus is so en pointe
July 8th, 2017

July 8th, 2017  
Great expression and find :) fav
July 8th, 2017  
I can never get frogs to pose for me... they just dit at the bottom of the pond and blow bubbles - this is excellent!
July 8th, 2017  
Wow! I hear frogs around here all the time, but have rarely seen them let alone get a shot. Well done!
July 8th, 2017  
'Just wondering what you are doing in my pond' great shot :)

Hasn't he got the most delightful smile. fav.
July 8th, 2017  
Ha ha - aren't froggies fun?! :)
July 8th, 2017  
Great capture
July 8th, 2017  
I'm jealous! Frogs always jump in the water when I show up with my camera!
July 8th, 2017  
Wonderful.
July 8th, 2017  
@pamknowler A photo would have had everyone laughing, I suspect! Unfortunately, Vickey's had a leak and she ended up with pond water INSIDE her waders!! Not fun...I at least stayed dry.
July 8th, 2017  
Wow, very cool and I love the details.
July 8th, 2017  
Cool

Brilliant shot, Love the happy looking face.
July 8th, 2017  
Such a sweet, earnest face (no I'm not anthropomorphizing or anything). Fav.
July 8th, 2017  
oh he's so fab! Love him, fav
July 8th, 2017  
I don't know how you get so close to a frog! Ours are super skiddish and "jumpy".
July 8th, 2017  
@partyof72015 It took putting on the waders that went up to my chest, standing very still for a fairly long time and then moving very slowly to get the frog photo. This one thought he was well hidden and barely moved the whole time I was there. It was really fun.
July 8th, 2017  
Oh such a cute pose!
July 8th, 2017  
Yay!! Frogs are so super adorable! That face is too awesome, great shot!

Incredible picture.
July 9th, 2017  
Awesome shot!
July 9th, 2017  
Super capture.
July 9th, 2017  
Looks like he's coming out of a space capsule. Worth the boots!
July 9th, 2017  
He has such a cute expression, very doubtfully inquisitive (if such a thing is possible). The waders paid off!
July 9th, 2017  
Great shot xx
July 9th, 2017  
Ahhhh this is brilliant.
July 9th, 2017  
Hilarious expression you caught -- and I love your description of how you got this photo! Can't wait to catch up with you . . . so many stories to tell about Australia.
July 9th, 2017  
@jyokota Are you back???
July 10th, 2017  
Great shot- I can't believe he didn't swim away!
July 10th, 2017  
Super cute! Fav
July 10th, 2017  
@taffy -- LAX. Home tonight. But it will be strange returning to an empty house.
July 10th, 2017  
My first thought on seeing this is "say hello to my little friend" (Tim was watching Scarface last night)! Fantastic detail!
