Leaping Leopard
We are back from the cottage. A wonderful time was had by all!
I have 1,853 photos to go through... YIKES! Hubbers lost the bet, he said I must have taken over 2,000! Since I'm still in vacation mode, it's going to take a while to get those pics sorted.
Today, I am sharing one of the many frog pics I took. He just happened to be the first subject on the random memory card I pulled from the pile.
Northern Leopard Frog
The Northern Leopard Frog is an extraordinary leaper! In a single bound, it can cover 1.8 metres. This is 15 times the length of its body, which is between approximately 50 and 110 millimetres.

Indian Pipe - Macro Monday/ABC Wednesday (I)
While on vacation at the cottage, I spent a lot of time (too much time), photographing various mushrooms and fungi. I thought this little gem was some king of fungus, but I was wrong.
Click on the pics to enlarge
It's a herbaceous perennial plant (Monotropa uniflora), in the Ericaceae family,
AKA - Indian Pipe, Ice Plant, Fairy Smoke, Ghost Flower, Corpse Plant, Ghost Pipe, Dutchman's Pipe, Eyebright, Convulsion Weed, and Fit Root.
It can grow in very dark environments as on the floor of dense forests, which is exactly where I found it!

At The Cottage
It's vacation time! We're off to the cottage!
Okay...so it turned out to be a snag,
but you should have seen the real fish before this...that got away!
