I told you in my last post that I would publish some LOTUS pictures in BLOOM if I could get back out there and get some. Well, I DID get back out there and I DID get some great shots of beautiful LOTUS flowers in bloom! It is interesting to note that all the while I was wading and shooting (you see, it is quite difficult to get out to these particular Lotus so I had to wade waist-deep out to them!) I kept hearing these 'bleating' noises all around the pond area. I recognized the sounds as something frog-related, in fact, green tree frog-related to be exact. Well.....I took this shot (above) and I didn't realize until I downloaded the picture that there was a GREEN TREE FROG sitting right there inside that bloom looking out at me taking his picture! This was a great surprise to me and it really made my evening to see that little frog peeking out at me in my picture. I had no idea he was in there. This of course is now my favorite of all these LOTUS BLOOM pictures, and maybe even my favorite plant picture of all time. Anyway, here are some of the others pictures too. Isn't the AMERICAN LOTUS a beautiful native Texas plant?!!!

Well I'm very glad you returned to nature blogging. I do enjoy see nature as it appears in areas I'm not familiar with. You have an interesting perspective .... kept it up. And yes the lotus + plus frog was beautiful as well as unique! :)
So sweet Troutbirder! Thanks for sticking with my blog even in my prolonged absence! You are very kind. I too love browsing other nature blogs and seeing far away places I wouldn't otherwise experience. Long live the Nature Bloggers! :)
Oh, my goodness!! I see him! That's one of the things I love about taking pictures - you don't really know what you have until you import them into the computer and look them over carefully. I've had a few surprises, too, but none as cool as that! The lotus IS beautiful. I'll have to check into it more. I'm only here for another month. ~karen
KaHolly, wasn't that a neat photo? Glad you could find the frog! He was well hidden!
