While walking at Carleton College I saw about twenty-four sheep penned in along the lakeshore. I have seen goats there, knowing they “rent them” to eat all the unwanted brush. I assume sheep do the same thing, but I had not heard of that before.
A few days later we were up with our grandchildren and as we walked out the front door our grandson spotted this beautiful dragonfly clinging to the stucco of the house. It looked like its body was made of green glass marbles. It was glistening.
And while walking around Pond Number Two near our house, we noticed several frogs. Frogs are a good thing to have in our ponds. We counted at least a dozen, and then spotted this large bullfrog! He was maybe 6-8 inches long…a whopper!.
Thanks for sharing some of nature’s surprises. I love that the sheep is snoozing right in the middle of the half-snapped greenery he has just munched. Photos (especially the bullfrog) are phenomenal as always.
Thanks Sue.
It’s always fun to see the creativity in nature.
Those are some great nature shots, Valerie. I’ve never seen a green dragonfly. Or a bullfrog. Thanks for sharing these stunning images.
Thanks Audrey.
The dragonfly was especially nice. I got as close as comfortable…
the body was so amazing!
Outstanding photos..,
Thank you.
Fabulous pictures of nature at its best! Isn’t it fun to share that with grandchildren?
