Pond sliders and frogs

This evening I heard frogs calling from the Cherokee World View Garden pond coming down the hill from a brief office visit.

I don't know all of their identities,  but there were multiple different calls -- probably including a tree frog in the mix, too.  What a great reminder of spring being here. The crickets have started to sing, too.  Summer is on the way.

These pond sliders were hanging out on the Duck Pond dam -- I was looking for the Northern Water Snakes that like to bask there on rocks.  But the red-eared pond sliders were fun to see, too.
