Summertime Nature a the Sourland Mountain Preserve.

Late Afternoon Walkabout at the Sourland Mountain Preserve. Four images of Bullfrogs. I especially like the last one “Grumpy”. After all the smaller frogs jumped into the water, he just stayed and stared at me. Images taken with a Nikon D4 camera and 80-400 mm VRII lens.
