THE TREE FROG OF THE LAKE

I’m very fortunate in that I can easily access some of the most peaceful surroundings, where nature exhibits the most captivating sounds and colours at their best. I’m even luckier that the place that I can truly ‘lose myself’ is not far from my home – Monte Pallano (Chieti). After a winter with lots of snow and rain over the mountains (some over the 2500 metres high), the normally dry ‘Black Lake’ called Lago Nero suddenly bursts to life as rain and melted snow begin to fill the dry basin. It’s incredible to witness the many species of wildlife dotted around the water. To me the frog is irresistible to observe and even more so to photograph!
