thanks turtle yeah that creek in the first shot,i'm embarrassed to say,but i can't recall the locality off the top of my head.i do remember that the road it's off of is right there,you could take the same photo more or less form your car........and yes that frog's a southern leopard,you got it.that poor box turtle,i did feel bad for him,that area is typically bad with mosquitoes.
guy,thanks for the kind words!yeah i have spent several dozen hours in the pines this year already,actually well over 100 hours now that you made me stop and think about it!
