Hummingbirds and bullfrogs….

We spent the day at the cabin on Thursday…

It was a gorgeous day spent with the kids and my mom and my grandmother…

This is the cabin, it belongs to my uncle but my mom stays in it each summer. It has no electricity and no water but it is very functional with a wood stove, a gas stove and a gas fridge…

My grandmother and my mom, fetching water for dishes

In front, there is a small lake, very small but full of life with resident frogs galore…

This guy is one of the bullfrogs that hangs out on the side of the lake near the cabin…

Colin went to pet him and he didn’t even flinch and Colin actually got bored before the frog did..

He lazily got off the rock and headed to a lily pad that he was much too heavy for…

Then swam away….

and then stopped and started floating instead….

near some tadpoles that seemed to be conversing…

I also got some captures of the hummingbirds that come feed in the three feeder that my mom has. They come all throughout the day, starting early in the morning and they will come even if you are standing right near the feeder, so I got my camera and just stood there and within a minute of two, I had a subject…

These are red-throated hummingbirds and the only hummingbird found on the east coast…

and a female…

We found butterflies, got bit by black flies, played darts, tended to the fire and just had a great day…
