Just paying a little tribute to some OTHER, delightful friends I see every day in the Wetland preserves ~!

“Even though I admit to looking quite intimidating, I swear, I’m a vegetarian and I really LOVE this grass,” said the Iguana.
A chubby little Pig Frog has nestled into his own private pool in a big lily pad.

I’m so lucky to live close enough to get out there almost daily, and sometimes in both morning after late afternoon.
