Bullfrog glamour shots and garden pictures

 

     After accepting a bribe of worms, Goliath obligingly sat still for several photographs tonight.  He stayed still even with my use of a prop (a one pound coffee can) to show his size.  Goliath frog is fat!  I then downloaded his ‘glamour shots’ and the garden pictures I took last week.  You will find them on our garden and pond page.  

     The garden pictures are from August.  I’m always on the look out for black flowers and foliage.  (I have a thing for them.)  One of my favorite pictures is of my black elephant ears.  We lost our black bearded Iris to the mice a couple of years back and we haven’t found another one to replace it.  This year I purchased a couple of daylilies that are quite dark but not black.  I like the black flowers and foliage because they make the other colors in the garden pop.  They also go well with all the gargoyle statuary.  😉

     I did forget to take a picture of our torch wielding gargoyle.  Yes, the torch does work.  I’ll get around to photographing it one of these days.

  1. Goliath is one handsome bullfrog. Nice and sleek, he looks like he’s full of handpicked plump worms!

    Your yard is sensational. What a wonderful combination of events – definitely a top notch feast for the eyes. Black elephant ears are new to me. They do make a wonderful backdrop for the bright colors. I love the way you make use of the vertical space as well as horizontal.

  2. what a cool big frog – and so tolerant

    Thanx again for all the support for Woodrow – hopefully the power of the paw will prevail – We are going to try and catch up on our bloggies today – but please be patient

  3. He’s tolerant because he wants me to find him worms, lazy bugger.
