Hippity Hoppity


The exhibit of tree frogs in the aquarium at Sea World was a stunner.  At first, I barely noticed the cleverly camoflauged amphibians.  These frisky, frolicking frogs blended into their surroundings so well, that the first time one moved, I jumped a little bit.  Not to mention that their perfectly poised, paused positions made them appear plastic.  They didn't seem like they could possibly be real.  From my perspective, this was kind of nice.  Their lack of movement made them significantly easier to photograph- I didn't have to worry about anticipating their movements.  So that was pleasant.  

However, I did happen to get the frog in the foreground in mid-jump.  Which I find fun.

Frogger

This is probably the coolest fountain that I have ever seen.  It's in the gardens of the Chateau de Versailles, Louis XV's grand palace in France.  When it is turned on, it is spectacular.  But, when the water is not running, it looks nifty as well.  Animals spit water in different directions, creating lines of water that curve in beautiful patterns.
