For Wordless Wednesday, let your images tell the story.
“If we can discover the meaning in the trilling of a frog, perhaps we may understand why it is for us not merely noise but a song of poetry and emotion.” – Adrian Forsyth
Partially inspired by the poem my mom read to us as children:
“Twenty froggies went to school, down beside a rushing pool …” ~ George Cooper
Please join me beginning June 9 as we explore the outdoors in PASTELS for the Sunday Stills Monthly Color Challenge.

Very nice images, Terri

Thank you, Toni. It isn’t easy to find a frog and get its picture. I suppose inventing a couple extra for this post didn’t hurt 💚

Those AI frogs are cute, and the story line for the last one hit the mark. Still, I prefer your real images, Terri.

Thanks, John. I used copilot for the professor frog, which came out rather cute. I hear the frogs every night but they sure know how to hide.

That was a fun poem. I’d forgotten it.

My mom read that poem to us when we were very young as part of a poem anthology she had. I remember so many of them, though not in their entirety. I recall wanting to go to school so bad because of that poem.

This was sweet. I don’t remember the poem. But it was a fun read for the day. I do like both your AI art and your own photos.

Thank you, Donna 😀. Kind of an obscure poem. I think the book was called Childcraft, and filled with these old poems.

Great shots, Terri. I can imagine how difficult it is to get good photos of frogs but you managed it. Love the AI image too.

Thank you, Cathy. The tiny coqui frogs on the Big Islanf of Hawaii are about as big as a coin, but are super loud. Lucky catch.

I like the “real deal” frogs and I like your AI-generated frogs as well Terri. How fun that you have recreated this poem your Mom read to you with the rapt attention of 20 little frogs. 🙂

Thanks, Linda! It’s easier to make AI-gen frogs than trying to photograph the real ones.

They are pretty quick-moving, probably more so than birds!

Gotta love frogs. We were hearing an increase in coquis for a while, but it seems to have dropped off the last few months. Don’t know why, but I’m not complaining. They’re loud!

You bet, Graham! I didn’t mind the coquis but I don’t live there… I can’t over how tiny they are for how loud they are 🙂

Cute pics of frogs, Terri. There is a green frog, (we named it Frankie) that has lived on our balcony for several years. It sings along with the visiting birds, and when it rains. Nature’s symphony.

Thank you, Eugi. Your little Frankie sounds cute! About 9:30 at night we let our dog out to do his business and we usually hear the frog chorus.

I love frog songs, Terri. Around here, they sing about the weather warming. And I love finding them in my garden. A fun post, my friend.

Thank you, Diana! Now our nights are warmer, we’ll hear the frog chorus much more.

I still have some of the Childcraft volumes from when I was a child, mainly those with poems. I can be hard to spot frogs but you did well. The top AI image looks pretty good; the other one is quite obviously AI.

How cool you have the volumes, Janet. Apparently I colored in the one book, and who knows where they ended up?
My frogs were lucky catches. The first frog was generated by WordPress, the other two from Copilot, which tends to be more fantasy- based. A fun prompt in which to explore.

Your photos, always, although the AI generated images would be lovely as illustrations, but credited as such. I still think illustrators have more to fear than photographers from AI content, and writers.
