We took Otto swimming this morning at the lake. We got about 5" of rain so the water was pouring heavily over the little dam.→[More:]

We finally found a way to get to the other side, away from the fishing folks. It's a short hike in, by a small pond and through some woods. 2 big blue herons were hanging out there, along with a lone swan and a couple of ducks.

I was looking for a stick to throw for Otto to retrieve, & when I found one, this green thing moved quickly away. It was a cool frog - one with those suction cup feet - he was green with black spots, just hangin' in the sun. Drying out, probably. I wanted to pick him up but mrs chewie said she didn't know anything about what kind it was & didn't feel like carrying me back to the truck, so I left him alone.

There were also a few turtles, a bazillion grasshoppers and dragonflies, and a couple of other pooches Otto got to romp with for a few minutes. He is currently sacked out.

Nothing spectacular, just sayin' howdy to mother nature after Hanna's visit.
