Wow, how many different shades of green in that photo? Frogs have camo down to a science.

Nice shot, you have a very healthy pond.

Thanks. It's eleven years old this summer and has been a labor of love! It's also home to hundreds of Golden Shiners, descendants of the original dozen that we liberated from a bait shop.

Great shot!

I agree with the other posters here with their comments too.

Thank you.

A Green Heron.

This beautiful bird was only seen here once. It ate a few shiners and walked around the pond for several minutes. As you can see, it's coloring isn't actually green and we had to scan our bird books to identify it. We'd never seen one before; and we've never seen one since. Glad I got pictures!

Shades of Walden's Pond -- if only he had had your camera, CT_Shooter, to capture the "Life in the Woods."

Neat backyard pond, and glad you enjoy it so much.
