I promised a frog and fish photo, I just took this a little while ago

Saturdays post: http://www.democraticunderground.com/10027164602
I went out to do the morning cleaning of the fountain. I was pulling leaves out from around the pumps. All of a sudden a leaf moved. We scared each other, even though I knew that instant what it was. I went to get the camera. Here as promised is the photo of our frog. We live a little less than a quarter mile from the marshland.
Because the Omaha water treatment uses chloramines, we have to treat the water to make it bird, amphibian, etc safe. See photo below. The skeeter treatment is safe for them too.
I threw in a photo of mamma and baby bird bathing on the top of the fountain Saturday too.
This morning.
This is our UV filter that removes the chloramines from our water to make it safe for the frog & friends.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chloramine: Ultraviolet light[edit]
The use of ultraviolet (UV) light for chlorine or chloramine removal is an established technology that has been widely accepted in pharmaceutical, beverage, and dialysis applications.[15] UV is also used for disinfection at aquatic facilities.
Saturday's photo.
