Many years ago, when our 28-year-old son was very much younger, he had a sandpit in the garden. Unfortunately the cover was left off one night and the thing was flooded - he was growing out it anyway by then, so it didn't really...

Hard Rain!

ingrid @ridingbet (66854) • Philippines 3 Jul 20

It is raining hard now! But may I ask- is that question acceptable ? Is it really hard rain when the raindrops sound so loud on galvanized rooftops? It is like hail is pouring from the skies; so strong that I presume the garden's...

MyLot is probably not the best first port of call for advice, but I thought I’d ask you anyway – especially those in the UK – because someone out there might happen to have experience of something like this! Quite a few times when...

Fleur @Fleura (34927) • United Kingdom 1 Mar 19

For the past couple of weeks the toad patrol have been out every evening, watching for toads emerging from their winter sleep and heading over to the breeding ponds. The weather has certainly been warm enough (warmest February on...

I have a mixed feeling about frogs

Always smiling @allknowing (153544) • India 17 Apr 18

When we had a lotus pond we used to have countless frogs of varying sizes croaking all through the day and night and the orchestra would be more during the rainy season. Although it made us feel closer to nature the fear of...

Green Frog

Steve Helmer @srhelmer (7047) • Beaver Dam, Wisconsin 6 Jun 17

This was a bit of a tricky capture. The grass is getting taller around the pond and, more often than not, I don't see frogs/turtles until they've seen me and are already in the water. I did manage to sneak up on this one though.
