Backyard Springtime Nature in New Jersey.

How many frogs can you see in this time-lapse video. I set up a camera early in the morning to record the opening of three Water Lily flowers. The camera took images every 6 seconds. The images were processed with Capture One Pro and the time-lapse video created using Photoshop. When I reviewed the images I noticed several small frogs, and one larger frog. In addition, there is some type of a Walking Stick insect that shows up in the center for a short bit.

Time-lapse video of Water Lily flowers opening. Images taken with a Nikon Z9 camera and 500 mm f/5.6 lens (ISO 200, f/16, 1/125 sec) every 6 seconds from 07:30 to 15:45.

    This is such a peaceful little world you’ve captured—watching the lilies bloom felt meditative, and spotting those tiny frogs made me smile.

      Three more Water Lilly flowers were open today, and it looks like there will be several more. djm
