Waterfall Visitor
Water is an important element in any garden. Besides keeping plants and animals hydrated, it is pleasing to the ear. I keep a small waterfall next to my front deck bench where I can enjoy the sound and watch passing visitors.
One of the waterfall visitors this year was this water-attracted frog. Can you spot him in the photo on top?

No, not this one. This one is a fake frog, a gift from a friend who knows I enjoy having frogs around my garden.
I do have a number of resident frogs: spring peepers live in the plants on my deck. I also have bullfrogs and green frogs in my small ponds. And there’s a nice population of toads around as well.
Frogs can camouflage themselves to blend in with their surroundings so look at the top photo again and see if you can spot him.

Here he is, sitting on the bottom of the waterfall and staying very still since he knows he’s been spotted. Now to identify which one he is. Care to guess?
