Kermit Lives! (and the Strawberry Moon)

Yes, Kermit lives!

Now I will admit, I don’t normally photograph frogs, and my web site is definitely not 365 Days of Frogs, but sometimes one just has to take unexpected paths. For 10 minutes this morning I knelt next to a small pond and took photographs of Kermit. I had left the house at 4:15 am with my camera, and at 8 am I decided to stop by a pond … enjoy the bird song and have a late breakfast snack (late if you have been up since 4 am). Some motion on a log caught my eye. I reached for my binoculars and realized a large Bullfrog had climbed out of the water to enjoy the morning sun. Oh well … I thought. Breakfast can wait a bit longer! Incidentally, it was 33F at 5:30 am on Admiral Road this morning.
Getting up at 4 am to head to the Bog was tough. I was out after sunset last night photographing the Strawberry Full Moon as it rose over Lake Superior. The end result was I did not have much sleep last night. (as a fyi … this night sky image was taken with my Sony A6300, not my Canon SX70)
I also found a few birds at the Bog … this Gray Jay (Canada Jay) and Killdeer Chick (the mosquitoes were horrible).
