Frog Day 2005 at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens

In October 2005 I took a road trip down to Atlanta, Georgia with a few friends for the tenth annual American Frog Day. The event was hosted on the west coast prior to this year when they moved it to the Atlanta Botanical Gardens. It included a show and sale offering live frogs and supplies, a behind the scenes tour of the gardens, and many exceptional lectures about amphibians. Highlights for me included the behind the scenes tour, Joe Mendelson’s talk about amphibian declines and extinctions, as well as Dr. Klaus Busse’s presentation and videos of Darwin’s frog. Below are photographs of the event and botanical gardens.
