Frogs - Aug 19

I understand that frog populations have been declining for the past decade or two. You'd never know it in Maine. 

There are frogs everywhere, hopping along the trail, diving into ponds, scampering into the brush. Green ones, brown ones, orange ones, zillions of frogs. 

Would someone please let the scientists know that the frogs aren't dying off, they're just moving to Maine?

And fungi!  I've never seen so many sizes, shapes and colors of mushrooms.

Maine is very much alive. That's better than I can say for my hiking pole. I broke off the tip again. Third one so far!
