It's Nature Friday time again! Yesterday, I mentioned a visit to the House of Dun, particularly the walled garden. Here is some of the gorgeous growth I spotted there.
The little brown ones, it turns out, were Common Toads. These little greenish ones are Common Frogs. They were tiny because they had only recently transformed from their tadpole stage. How small were these? I picked one up so you could get a closer look... thanks to Aitch for taking the shot. They were all over the place, and one had to take care on the path not to tread on any!
Glorious nature beautifully captured.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos. A reminder from Nobby - never lick a toad!
ReplyDeletebeeautiful... and even a frog... a prince maybe?
ReplyDeleteLovely garden ..I suppose a cabbage white is better than no butterflies!
ReplyDeletegawjuss is the correct word. wow comes to mind. each photo is perfect. the first few views of the flowers and the green are fantastic... we have the tiny frogs, and they are too cute for words.
