Ribbit

FP and Explore #22... Thank you, friends!

 

Every year, when we open our pool for the summer, we are amazed at the arrival of these tiny frogs with BIG LOUD VOICES! Seriously, they are no more than 2 inches long, but croak so loudly back and forth to each other that we can barely get to sleep at night. Many evenings I will go around and capture these little froggies and put them in a bucket. The next morning, I drive them away from our home and release them near a creek on our farm. I think that for every one I release, three more show up the next day! Hahaha! I can hear them now...."Hey! Pool party at Tracey's house, come on!"

 

VIEW IT LARGE so you can appreciate all the details.

 

I think they are adorable! Look at this little fellow's speckled eye and all the textures on his body. I love his little "fingers" grasping onto the twig and his down-turned pouty smile. I don't know what kind of frog his is, but I'm adding another shot of him so you can see his bright yellow hind legs. If anyone knows what he is, holler at me.

 

HAPPY FROGGY FRIDAY, Friends!
