They’re back again… in the same spot as every year. Frogs are apparently returning to their spawning grounds, and the little puddle that always dries up completely in the summer is teeming with life: There’s jumping and splashing everywhere you go. And there’s even a pirate frog with only one googly eye. Aye…
I’ll be keeping watch again tomorrow, because tomorrow is the first day of my new “Freitag” days, which will truly live up to their name. 😉 The bluish picture is a little art experiment…

Lake frogs! You can listen to a crazy frog concert just behind the fire station in Hainhausen, provided you’re calm enough to linger on the bank for a moment. If you move, all you can hear is splashing. Sure, storks and herons are hunting. But if you survive those 15 minutes, the choir starts croaking again, and the frogs even hop towards you. Unfortunately, the sun was on the wrong side… this would be a photo spot for the morning, but then you have to drop the kids off and go to work. Quark! (Means Nonsense! In German)

The frogs and toads are on the loose again at the Weilbacher Kiesgruben and although a lot of visitors get lost there when the weather is nice, these amphibians are anything but quiet. Shy, yes, but not quietly! If you sit quietly in the reeds for 10 minutes and wait, they start their concert again and if you move in tai-chi-mode, i.e. very slowly, they trust their camouflage and only hop away at the last second. So I was able to get very close to this table frog with my macro. I see you!
