Hi Kathy,  Hmmm... I'm hoping that frog changes his mind and lets the bird go free !

Jared and Amanda- maybe they were just playing.

Ann- I think so.  That's the hardest part of my walks every morning, especially during nesting season.

Susan- I'm not a fan of frogs, cooked or otherwise, but it's hard to see Mother Nature's lessons in life.

Jenny-Can't tell you how many times my husband or myself are without our cameras and miss out on great moments.

Kirsten- Sure, I'll buy that one.

Bill G- funny!  You never know?  Could be???

Bill L- Thank you for your kind words.

Gary- I actually saw an alligator "play" with a turtle once.  Now, I'm not sure if the turtle saw it that way, but he did manage to walk away.

Jim & Maria- But still. . . it's still a frog.  Actually, when you think about eating any living animal, you might become a vegetarian.

Paul- I agree.  Have to wonder where we fall in that circle!

Debi- my husband actually took the photo.  (under MY direction, of course!)

Marney- Have to give my husband credit for the photo but he was "at the ready" for that shot.

Tony & Darcy- No, I don't think that frog is with us anymore. Thanks for stopping by.

Rich- wouldn't that be something!! How does that happen??

Lou-Absolutely.  That green heron is but a morsel for an alligator.

Leah-One of the reasons I enjoy walking out at Green Cay-you just never know what you'll see!

Kathy,

Frogs seem to be a mainstay of the green heron - have seen many encounters like this. :)

Kathy, Wow, this is a great shot. You were definitely in the right place at the right time, unfortunately this little frog was not.
