Lovely :o)

A beautifull male green frog. They have very entertaining wresting tournaments to determine pond dominance. I wish I could play videos of these Greco-Roman style wrestling matches in the water.

I might add that it is very noisy day and night during frog mating season as well as their territorial croaking the rest of their active year. I have questioned my neighbors if that noise bothered them and not one of them objected to it. They all said that they enjoyed the sounds of nature coming though their bedroom windows at night. Whew! Did I luck out!

Very well-photographed !
