I have so many pictures this month. From tree frog tadpoles to dew drop bejeweled roses this May was packed with natural beauty. My favorite picture this month has to be the roses.
I found this bee impersonating fly who paused for a couple pictures.
This is the first year that I have ever seen the parts of a Cottonwood tree that release the tufts of cotton. We were at a waterfront park after a storm and we found several of these cotton dispensers knocked to the ground. I was fascinated to learn what goes on at the tops of those giant trees.
A smart little frog has taken up residence in this hollow post. I hear him singing after dark. His music is many times amplified by the pipe. In the video you can hear the other frogs in the background and see how loud the pipe frog is in comparison.
The frogs I saw mating in April must have laid a healthy batch of eggs because our little pool is filled with hundreds of tadpoles.
The pictures of the tadpoles are unclear because all my camera wants to do is focus on the surface of the water.
It has been so fun to go out and check the tadpoles everyday. They do not have legs yet. It is taking so long for them to grow legs!
Here is a skink that was fun to be able to observe. I have never seen one at our house. It was at my parents and they live in a similar habitat to us. We have to keep a lookout for skinks.
And the birds...... I can't even tell you how amazing the birdsong variety was. I took a short video so you can hear a little of the morning music.
Here is my lovely walk curated in photo and video for you.......
And that is a wrap!
I hope you have a had a nice May and are getting to enjoy nature out of doors.
