What You See Is What You Get. This is a journal blog, an explore-blog, a bit of this and that blog. Sharing where the mood takes me. Perhaps it will take you too.

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.









I also teased about wee jumping things at Kinnaber Forest. There were lots. Some brown, others more yellow-green with a stripe. Can you spot it?


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!
