Hubba Bubba





I recently experienced something that I had never heard or seen before, a frog chorus. 

These shots were taken in the grounds of the Domaine de Marie Antoinette at the Palace of Versailles.  I heard the sound from a way off and as I approached the small bridge across a stream the sound stopped. Looking down I spotted a few frogs resting in the cool water and then after a while my patience was rewarded as they started  "singing" again.

They are such cute little creatures but as they puff out their cheeks they look slightly comical.

They seem to grow to a decent size too, plenty of meat on those thighs, if that's what you are into.

Frosty Fern


An otherwise plain fern has a magical appearance courtesy of sub zero temperatures, a little shade, and some added sparkle from a hand held torch.
