Red-legged Frog (Rana aurora)

“We are blessed by the existence of a conservation area abutting our wooded property. New acquaintances with many a wild neighbour bring thrill to our lives. Fom the largest to the smallest of the forest dwellers, each creature is a jewel and something to be appreciated and respected. White-tail Deer, Red Fox, Coyote, Cottontail, Frog and Toad, myriad birds from the tiny to the raptor to Wild Turkey, Raccoon, Bat, glittering insects and more.

“Humane solutions seek a peaceful co-existence with those hungry wild dwellers who may, occassionally, turn the lid of the litter bin or, during nest-building season, engange in a noisy pecking then a franctic drilling of our wooden house.

“Our property certified as a Wildlife Habitat and we are for a safe co-existence with all dwellers who find a home in it or venture through it.

“Like this pretty frog Rana aurora. Strangely enough, New England, USA, is not its range (Vancouver Island and coastal British Columbia, south along the Pacific coast to northern California; introduced populations in Nevada). She paid me a visit only once and left a life-long impression after her beauty and uniqueness.

“This image is meant to carry such message of conviviality.”
