July 2024 Moment in Nature

It has been so very dry here the last month or so and quite hot as well. I have been watering my pots and some of the actively blooming in-ground perennials to help the insects that need those flowers.

One night it finally rained a lot and I walked outside to see how the plants were recovering. As I walked through the front, I spied this small frog (identified by a friend as a Spring Peeper) enjoying a moist leaf on the wingstem (Verbesina alternifolia). It seemed like a good sign and a much needed refresh for this month's #momentinnature.

I found another couple of them later in the week in the backyard, so here's another photo showing the distinctive marking on the back (kind of an X).
