River Otters
Paddling upstream we paused when we heard dogs barking… low and behold we never expected to see this pair peering out from under a log, they were defending their space by making a “woof woof” noise. I was delighted to see them and haven’t seen them since.
Kermit was here.
Canoeing the Beaver River in the evening, I had never seen so many frogs migrating. They were everywhere!
Fox – making off with a feast
Painted Turtle – Tiny Marsh

Tree Frog
This little fellow was in my parents outdoor shower, he was about 1/4 inch long, tiny!
Frog Caviar anyone?
Perfectly formed frogs eggs at the side of a pond near Orillia.
Hungry like a wolf
This female Snapper was carrying around about six inches of clay packed onto it’s back. I often wonder if I should have removed the clay, what a heavy burden to carry around. On the path near Devils Glen there were three females looking to lay eggs.
A game of chase
