(not so) Wordless Wednesday...

Wow! Hump-day already? Where does the time go? 

The sun is beginning to inch its way upward on the southern horizon bringing with it warmer days that I have so longed for. Spring has shed its heavy, drab overcoat. Songbirds sing choruses of praise. New life abounds everywhere. Everywhere I look, the landscape has been painted with soft pastels. Even the boys of summer have come out to play

Susie, the picture was taken late in the day. The light from the cobalt blue skies was reflecting on the water and since the frog was also bathed in this light source, it too came out blue. One of the quirks of photography. This is a bull frog and it is brown and green...

H Michael, isn't it fun that Mother Nature has such a colorful palette beyond just the Landscapes and Flowers. Even her little creatures and their individualized environments make for quite a show of color.

I love the colors that Mother Nature affords us but they come out even more through your gift of photography.  Thanks for sharing, Michael.

Ahh, memories!  Looks like a fellow that lived down the street from me growing up!  We called it the frog pond in Meyersville, NJ!  (Your profile pics are killing me!)

Michael: We didn't make it over this morning to comment. Ceil and I just sat outside to enjoy the sunset and the cool spring breeze, what a great time of the year.

Hello Michael and what a great photo and that frog looks like it's blue in color, it that it's real color or could that be a reflection off the sky and water?

VB ;o)
