Welcome to My Pond...Tread Carefully

Today I had my first photo walk with friend on Beaver Island (Vickey). She has access to shoulder height waders and water levels are quite high at the moment. So, we donned the waders and went walking IN the pond! It was our opportunity to hang out with many frogs, a snapping turtle, dragonfly (yes, singular), and an unfortunate number of midges.
Great start to the fun side of summer, and a good break from all the joys of opening the house and finding all the things that need repairing, replacing, cleaning up, etc
Those eyes and amazing colors! I am thinking that Beaver Island has had the crazy amount of rain that we have had here in Chicago!

Oh no I don’t want to go in the pond so thanks for taking me with you! Lol! Great closeup of this handsome frog! What’s that he is saying? “Kiss me!”

A face only a mother could love. Great shot Taffy. Think I'll pass on the waders too thanks. Though I do like frogs.

“Shoulder High waders”? Oh my! Can you use Avon's Skin So Soft to ward off the Midges? It really works for mosquito repellent.
