Last night we took a walk during the long twilight that
occurs here. It doesn’t get completely
dark until around 10:30 pm. During our
nighttime walk we always head toward a spot that we call “the cove”. We arrived at the cove just in time for the
bullfrogs! It was still light enough to
see them, but getting dark enough for them to start becoming very active.
They have great camouflage! Can you spot the frog in the picture to the right?
The chorus of frog songs almost becomes deafening. And although the frogs all look very similar
, it is easy to tell that there are several different species present by the
different sounds they produce.
Our log cabin has no internet access, no telephones, no
cable TV. (I am currently in a tiny little
library about 20 miles from the cabin.) I always worry that to a 16 year old
daughter, the lack of Facebook will be too much to bear. I should know her well enough by now to know
that my fears are unwarranted.
