The jig is up! The deer has spotted the photographer and a moment later jumped into the woods and vanished.
These turtles are larger than most and were warming themselves in the June sun.
Often heard but seldom seen, this is a Bull Frog. It is about eight inches long in the body. This is a female. The male was in the other end of the same pond, singing to attract her. The Bull Frog's song sounds like a single note played on a cello.
