Frog Friday # 1

 




This is an American Bull Frog that I took at NC Botanical Gardens in 2019 a year ago exactly. 
The American Bull Frog is largest frog in North Carolina and they are native to our area in North Carolina . The American Bull Frogs colors are some shades of brown or green. 


The American Bull Frog breeds in the spring and summer in North Carolina and the Female American Bull Frogs can lay up to 12,000 eggs which is amazing to think about. Their call is familiar sound a big time booming " roo-rro-room or jug-o-rum" and these calls can be heard from April to August. 

Male American Bull Frogs can defend their territories from other males in the area and they also do an aggression call against other males if this is willing to happen.

Step into Nature 8

 Welcome back to another adventure in this weeks Step Into Nature on my blog. Let's see what is going on for this post this week on Thursday.  This is a Red Headed Woodpecker, i also photographed at Jordan Lake with the master mind Al D while on a sunrise shot with him. I got several shots of both Female and Male Red Headed woodpeckers on this dead tree along side of the shore of Jordan Lake . We often don't see these  very often in central parts of North Carolina but at the Lakes of Central North Carolina, you can see them and photograph them as well. This is a Carolina Anole, I photographed at the Botanical Gardens with the marvelous walkabout trying to find lots of subjects to photograph there. We photographed many Carolina Anoles, hummingbirds and many other subjects at the Botanical Gardens. Carolina Anolies are very cool to photograph when you find them espicaily at Nc Botanical Gardens in Chapel Hill. This is a baby Cropes Grey Tree Frog which I also photographed at NC B

A another new variant of covid

 There is many new variants of covid but the one we are going to talk about on this post is MU variant of covid virus.  The MU variant of covid was found in Columbia , South America in January 2021. This variant has caused some outbreaks in Europe, south A,Erica and the United States. The vaccines of covid and treatments are less effective in this variant.  By far this one is not spreading as quickly as the original covid variant and Delta variant of covid .  But for most the quickest one of the spread of the covid variant is still the Delta variant . The symptoms are the same as the variants of the covid and delta variant.  So please take extra caution around these variants.
