Title: JoAnne Captures Frogs, Flowers, Vines, Trees & Berries
Post by: Henry on August 16, 2011, 07:27:05 PM

Hi Henry,
 I usually find toads in my garden, but after our rain, yesterday, this frog was in the flowers.
A couple of pictures of the roadsides. Flowering vines in the trees, and berries in the trees.

When I went down to Mass tonight there were thousands of bugs flying in the air.  After Mass I stopped at Steeple Market and the parking lot was full of bugs - Something caused them to come out and I doubt I would want to be out talking for fear some my fly in my mouth.

Henry,
I believe the bugs were flying ants.  They hatch every year.  I drove thru the ant storm coming back from football practice.  Actually reminded me of a snow storm.   I'm not too fond of the mess they made on my car.

We too had a bunch of flying insects (ants) around our neighborhood last night too.  Not only that but woke up to an abundance of spider webs all over the yard, in the trees and back deck.....couldnt believe it.  Seems as though the weather brought all the insects out
