It was a lovely spring day today and the frogs were very lively in Crafty Green Boyfriend's mother's garden. The garden was filled with their croaking as well as the songs of blackbirds and the arguing of magpies. Despite being very active, the frogs were enjoying basking in the sun and were happy to pose for photos
There's lots of frogspawn in the ponds too, as you can see in the
photos below
We also saw our first honey bee of the year!
A large queen bumble bee was also buzzing around, but she didn't stop to have her photo taken!
Pele, the neighbour's cat joined us at one point
I hope to share more photos of Pele later in the week.....

We've had bees already, but no toads or frogs have I seen yet. I'll keep my eyes open as ever. The bird song this evening in the dusk was lovely.
Hello, I love the cute frogs and the kitty. We our having crazy weather warm then freezing cold. I feel sorry for the frogs. Happy Monday, enjoy your new week!
So nice to see the frogs and the flowers.
Looking forward to seeing more of Pele later in the week ...
All the best Jan
P.S. Also meant to say - well done on one of your poems being in that book.

When I was in the garden today there was a bumblebee buzzing around, I felt spring approaching.... Loved to see the frogs, here they still keep quiet.
Thank you for your kind words and for posting one of my passions... Frogs and toads.... Too early here... I am off to check out your book.. Michelle
LOVE frogs! I have one tattooed on my shoulder. :-)
