How are you!?!?
I am enjoying an absolutely perfect morning!
Went for an early morning run and then came back to enjoy my morning cup of joe on the front porch:)
Remember the pond I built???
Well it is now frog central:) :)
This morning I counted 35....yes 35 frogs in my pond!
I wasn't always a big fan of frogs but they are growing on me!
I just love to watch them in the morning! I've even see them catch bugs a few times!
I know......I should have more going on than just sitting around watching frogs....but seriously....if you take just a moment to appreciate all the beauty in nature.....you will walk away HAPPY!
I wonder what the frogs would say ... if they could talk:)
Maybe...."hey just relax....everything's gonna be alright" or " a few flies...some water...a lily pad and i'm happy" :) :)
Like this little one....just poking his head up....
Hey....why are you taking my picture....you know I don't like to be photographed:) heehee
but really...I couldn't be any happier with the way the pond is shaping up!
I still need a few more pond plants......but no rush, right!?!?
I also think it's kind of funny that that's the first thing people see when they walk up to my front door.....frogs jumping everywhere:)
I think this one really thought a back drop of glass floats would suit him best!
They seriously just crack me up:)
I wonder if they're all friends.....or do they have one frog that they just can't get along with....you know...a real lily hog!
I don't know...with 35 of them in a not so big pond....i'd say they probably all get along just fine! Maybe we should learn a thing or two from the frogs!
I think it's nice to take a moment to enjoy a little nature while collecting your own thoughts:)

I am so giggling at you and pretending that the frogs are alligators. Hee hee. Fun to let our minds wander sometimes.
ReplyDeleteNice photos by the way!

Oh...I love your pond with the frogs. I wish I could have one of those. Obviously, living in Alaska, that's out of the question. We don't even have frogs up here. Someday when I find another spot to plant some roots, I'll have one!
ReplyDeleteGood use of those floats! You know, you could put one in your pond! They float!! ;)
hugs..

ReplyDeleteGood photography too. You should totally make some artwork...
What a beautiful pond! The frogs are so cute. I always get excited when I find creatures in my yard, especially butterflies and hummingbirds!
ReplyDeleteLovely post...and beautiful photography. Frogs are quite interesting to observe... But PLEASE, don't wish for alligators!!!
ReplyDeleteThey are NOT good company to keep...

This is one of my favorite simpledaisy posts. your photography here is magical and does encourage the appreciation for all the small moments in life that are tuly HUGE and AWESOME. Looks like we both got the same thought today, my post is about setting the bezt food forward and your inspiring posts are a part of that. oh and I love how you casually say, remember when I built a pond! :)

ReplyDeleteOh my goodness I love it! These pictures and your post make my day! I could sit and watch your pond all day, too bad I live so far away. Those frogs are adorable!
ReplyDeleteYour frogs are so adorable...I could kiss one! Great shots and cheerful post...you're makin' my day much brighter, Heather!
ReplyDeleteHow fun...you have some VERY happy frogs there...and cute ones too! The pictures you took are so great...they could grace a National Geographic magazine..."The Urban Frog"! ;)
ReplyDeleteI adore that pond, you did an amazing job with it! I love the sound of frogs at night - there is just something really peaceful about it.
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job with the photos too : )
Great post and amazing photos!
ReplyDeleteBuild a pond and they will come! :)
ReplyDeleteI've said it once and I'll say it again; I love your pond! It's wonderful that you so openly welcome little critters that others might not be fond of.
ReplyDeleteI COMPLETELY agree with what you said about nature: "If you take just a moment to appreciate all the beauty in nature.....you will walk away HAPPY!" I always try to take in the beauty that is all around me.
What a great post! I was smiling all the way through. I love just sitting and watching nature. 35 frogs!! That's amazing! They all look so happy in your pond. Your pictures are so beautiful, you did a great job of capturing the different frogs! I must say thank you because I finally got to see a frog sitting on a lily pad!! I know it sounds silly but I have never seen one do that.
ReplyDeleteI am glad that you are able to sit and relax and reflect and take care of yourself!
I'm amazed that there's such a large frog community in the pond -how awesome!
ReplyDeleteWow - this is amazing. I love your photos. This pond is so beautiful. And so is your front yard. Looks so nice & beautifully landscaped. Love the frogs.
ReplyDeleteGet Outa Town!!!! Those photos are AWESOME!!! Love the pond! Love the frogs! But those images are amazing....should enter into photo contests! LOVE them!
ReplyDeleteI love your pond! The frogs are tooo cute! It makes me want a pond!
ReplyDeleteMy hubby is seriously gonna take my laptop away..I keep giving him new projects to do! lol
I love your little pond!! I would find myself sitting outside all the time watching the frogs.
ReplyDeleteYour photos of those frogs are amazing! What a sweet pond, love it.
ReplyDeleteHugs~

This was so fun and cute. I love it and your attitude. I happen to love frogs too. Whenever I see one around the yard I get an urge to pick it up. Love the pond girl!!!
ReplyDeleteLOL! I just had to laugh when I read your post today! I have a pond, too, and posted late this spring about all the frogs that discovered it so quickly and are now calling it home! Hubby and I have even named some of them....(shhh!)They are a ball to watch, and they do leave you wondering what they're thinking and if they have froggy buddies they like hanging out with...?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful water lily, too! I used to work for a landscape company that specialized in water gardens. If anyone out there in blogland doesn't have a water garden in their yard, you've just got to build one! :)

You take the most amazing photos. Seriously, some of those could be in books!
ReplyDeleteGreat post, and what a wonderful way to start your week.
I found your blog recently and just really enjoy visiting here. Your pictures are so inspiring and I LOVE all shades of aqua, teals and greens. Sweet little frogs too. Thanks for sharing. :) Michelle
