Today my wife and I visited the Luther Marsh conservation area east of Arthur, Ontario. It was a very pleasant way to spend the day, even when it began to rain.
Perhaps the biggest surprise was the number of frogs we saw. At one point, we took a trail down to the marsh itself and the path came alive with giant grasshoppers and frogs of varying sizes. Some were the size of my thumb, while others would have taken up a decent amount of space on my palm.
It was nice to see so many amphibions, especially when you consider how endangered they are. Even though I am decades away from boyhood, I still found it exciting to watch the little creatures hop from the path to the tall grasses.
