Sizzling Sunday

The frogs were quite active today - jumping in and out of the pond and foraging in the undergrowth. By early evening I counted 23 of varying sizes in the pond. The ones pictured below are the usual brood that line the pond but recently we have had some new visitors. There is a splendid healthy looking specimen, which as yet I have not managed to capture on camera. He or she is much darker almost a blue-slate to black in colour ...

Today was lovely and warm with a soft breeze. The cat made herself a little nest in the middle of a patch of Montbretia which made a cozy cool bed for an afternoon nap!
