Mississippi Bullfrog

darkness approaches
your time is at hand!

bullfrogs arise!
strike up the band!

wild rice surrounds you
your kingdom awaits

guard and protect her
'till shadows abate

Those bullfrogs certainly do "strike up the band," don't they, James? Thank you for sharing these great images, Carolyn
