Posting my first picture. This is a shot of an Orchard Spider I took at Goshen Pond recently.

I changed the title of this post to Goshen Pond Images. The pond is a favorite subject of mine. I just moved to Waterford Township late last year, and it's very close to my house. Such a beautiful place to take pictures. This is a Slaty Skimmer dragonfly taken at the pond this summer. Feel free to add more Goshen Pond photos!
Maria, did you run that Rhododendron through a plant key? Our local Rhododendron is Rhododendron viscosum. If it is atlanticum, I'd love to see it.
Yes, I did. I used PlantSnap and that's what it came up with. I think the app does an educated guess so it might not be accurate. You take a picture of a plant, and it tries to identify it from the picture. I found this plant among some bushes along the bank of Goshen Pond. I took it a couple months ago so I'm not sure if it's still blooming. If I recall correctly, it was toward the beaver dam if you are walking along the pond from the parking area.

They are pretty cool! And a little easier to photograph than Damsel flies, which flutter around more.
I took a picture of this little guy a couple months ago. Very tiny toad. I almost stepped on it. My lens cap is next to him for scale. I haven't had any luck identifying the species. Does anyone know? Is it a Fowler's toad?
I'm pretty sure that's a gray tree frog. But I'm not a herper. Others may know.
