A twelve spotted skimmer dragonfly.

White pond lily, arboretum, Parc St. Bruno.

A green frog (Lithobates clamitans or Rana clamitans) on a rock beside a pool. It looks almost as though its head was dipped in a can of green paint. I was going to call it Prince Charming, but perhaps it's Princess Charming? Which led me to realize that I have no idea how to tell the females from the males by sight. A quick trip to Wikipedia revealed that in Green Frogs "the male tympanum is twice the diameter of the eye, whereas in females, the tympanum diameter is about the same as that of the eye, and males have bright yellow throats". So, this, it seems, is Princess Charming.

The same heron as in the previous photo, taken as the sun was starting to go down.

A heron that has taken up residence in a local park.

Spring has arrived, the snow has melted, the frogs are out of hibernation, making noise and feeling frisky..

Frogs on a log. (What I didn't see until I uploaded the image and looked at in enlarged, is a small spider sharing the log on the left hand side under the frogs chin. It looks as if she might be carrying an egg case?)

Frog in a pond, just hanging out.

Water lily (nénuphar).
