2 2nd tiny frog This is in wetland area on the farm just outside the acreage. No standing water around at this time (except on my driveway), mix of grass/sedge, shrubby willows and dwarf birch with larger (same species) willows, paper birch, tamarack (larch) poplars and spruce nearby in wetland edge and blending to upland.

1 of 2 These two tiny frogs were photographed less than a minute apart and within a metre or few. As different as they look (next post), I think they are both Boreal Chorus Frogs Pseudacris maculata (the ones that sing in ponds in the spring).Fast little critters+ crappy photos..lol

Still colour to be found- if you are looking! #LeafMother brought my attention to this #aspen #leaf on the ground, among many others, most of which have faded to dull earthy tones. I picked it up and placed it on a fallen balsam poplar trunk to photograph. #SolaceInNature #autumn #winter #BorealForest #animist #pagan #nature #photography #GetOutside

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 11 #LeafMother has left some colour from Autumn (months ago!) hanging bright against the #snow with a drop of frozen #rain and inscribed with cryptic insect prayers to the #GreatMother #Goddess! and Day 12 #Saule #Sun is nearly at the maximum of her turn to the south, yet her rays still brighten #Winter days, even if the warmth is mostly in our hearts! #Alberta #December #BorealForest #WinterPictures #CountryLiving #animist #Latvian

A #SlowWalk for #SevenOnSunday (unlike a hike, a slow walk is not about going someplace, it is about
#being someplace -of course hikes *can* do this too).
Colours just starting to tip over into #autumn #LeafMother starts with the understory, forbs and shrubs and begins to dull the greens in preparation for the over the top displays to come.
