Frogs and Gorges

I had always thought that images of frogs lounging on lily pads were fictional. But this one has been hanging out on our lily pads off and on for several days:



I can get within about four feet of the pond before it notices me and jumps in the water.

We spent the afternoon at the Chesterfield Gorge. It really is as beautiful as the picture at that site. We spent all afternoon wading, making dams, and admiring the little fish (who were thinking about nibbling on our feet). Top it off with ice cream at the Williamsburg General Store and life's pretty good.
