Solstice frog chorus

We came home Sunday evening from the Fitts after an afternoon of grilling,watching the Dutch team lose their semifinal to Russia in the Euro 2008, and big thunderstorms, to an extra loud chorus of frogs behind our house.

Beautiful. Though our little neighborhood is very Pleasantville, we have an amazing variety of wildlife because we back up to a lot of undeveloped land and a big county park. There are a pair of wood storks that we have seen since early spring and now four young hawks that hunt over our block almost every day. Also- egrets, herons, osprey, and cow birds. And ducks.
We had a great time with the Fitts on Sunday- they have a primo back porch/lounge for hanging out and watching a game.

The video of the boys and the box is JUST adorable!! Love the frogs, too. Almost sounds like a sci-fi theme song....
