Very Nice! Do you go to sleep listening to the frogs at night?

frogs, toads, crickets, cicadas in late summer months, mostly owls and sometimes the coyotes.  the occasional raccoon and family and/or possum deciding to ramble across the back porch and knock things over......and once in a great while a bear...... :D

lots of great sounds in the country....... sometimes just as still as can be, and i can hear the river, love the 'sounds' of the river.....i like it....
many times during summer months we will light a fire in our fire pit, mostly on weekends, and i will fall asleep in a great lounge chair fireside.  i usually wake very early in the morning long before daybreak to find someone has covered me with a blanket..... :D

The bee is lucky it did not become lunch for the frog. Nice photo, some what camouflaged nice that you scene it.

Great photo!  I finally saw my smaller turtle today. He is actually his own turtle, the creek dried up and my small unfenced pond has acquired some extra critters, a big mama turtle I added, and a little guy. And lo and behold my cell phone was on the charger and camera in the house....  Good to have it with you, this is a great shot!
