More About the Froglets!

I went out and took more pictures of the froglets today. You can see they are starting to have color patterns like their parent bullfrogs now... they are no longer just black things.

I was finally able to get a picture of the lilies! They weren't here last year.

More Pond Pics

I went out today to get pictures of the lillies, but they aren't open today. I did see the froglets though:They are getting big and fat! and they were swimming all around. They like to eat the fish food, but we saw them digging in the algae too!
And finally the 4th koi. We thought one had been taken by the birds, but apparently only the goldfish have... we bought 10 and see only 5. They could be hiding, but I haven't seen them! I hope you enjoy the pictures... I also found a snakeskin near the pond... maybe the snake is fishing?

Tadpoles!

We have frog babies!!! here's a picture of a few of them... there are tons! the parents are all gone and the tadpoles are swimming around enjoying the pond. We only see 3 of the 4 koi and 5 of the 10 feeder goldfish.

Boo is 5 years old!

She was born on a Friday the 13th under a full moon! Doesn't she look so sweet? She's our very first Sphynx. I'll post pictures of Suede and Gandalf and our temporary kitty later :)

Frogs in My Pond!

Went out this evening to check on my fish and the new plants I just got from my MIL... this is what I found... at least EIGHT frogs! AND there are eggs! Check out these bullfrogs. We have never had a pond before we came here and we're having a lot of fun with the 4 Koi, 10 feeder goldfish, and 8 frogs we have in our pond. We had 6 large goldfish, but after we removed the net from the fall and winter, they disappeared. I think they were kidnapped by birds and maybe raccoons. We have put in new plants, more fish (less space per fish means they don't grow so big?), and now with all of these frogs... maybe the nasties will stay away.



Last week my neighbor helped me rescue a box turtle that was wandering down the middle of the street. He brought him to the backyard and we released him. I didn't get any pictures of him... but we got a bunch of the frogs... my kids call them Herr Frosh and Frau Frosh... Mr. and Mrs. frog. :)
I hope you enjoy the pictures!
