Every year the frogs use this Sycamore tree’s hole as a home for their babies. It fills up with mud &!water, so it attracts all kinds of insects, worms and families of baby tree frogs! Everyone in the neighborhood brings their children around to see them! Although we hear them nightly next to the creek, It brings me great joy when I see them! #rainbowconnection #calabasas #frogsofinstagram #treefrogs #natureinspired by @jaymebates

This may be the last season for the frogs to breed & live in the hole of this sycamore tree. City of Calabasas - Government is allowing the owners of this property to tear down the trees and put in a parking lot. #frogsofinstagram #frogs #calabasas #GreenOverGreed by @jaymebates

My name is mud!
Finding the baby frogs in the tree hole brings me joy every time I see them, especially when they are just sitting in mud!! #frogs #mud #calabasas #treefrogs #findjoyeveryday by @jaymebates

California spring wild flowers are in bloom in Malibu! Spending time in nature is the healing energy that we needed right now.. surrounded by animals family friends plants music movement sunshine and the vitamin SEA breeze is what the Dr. ordered to heal from the stress & grief. We took a short nature walk and sat under a huge oak tree where Ziggy & Kaya played & shared water with two dogs a husky named Chicka and a mini schnauzer named goose 💜🌞🍀🍄🍄‍🟫🪻🌱🌼🌊🎶 🙏 music by @pipedownofficial
