This Froday froggie wishes you a happy weekend!

DSCN1731

I saw this little American bullfrog down in Greenbelt lake in April. Not so little, this frog was as big as my hand, at least. I figured out the mystery of why I've been seeing so many frogs this year--it's due to the late winter. The grasses and shrubs that grow around the lake block my view of much of the bank at full growth, and they were late in starting. So the frogs came out of hibernation before the foliage grew high and thick enough to block my view. I'm not seeing as many frogs now through the shrubbery.

Same frog from a different angle. Just a pickle with legs.


Froggie!  Greenbelt Lake 4-13
And maybe there are more frogs this year in conjunction with the 17 year cicadas emergence, and they are awaiting the arrival of their cicada feast.

Awww! I got a little red-eared turtle when I was 7 or 8 and he was still around when I left home at 22. Cleo lived 20 years and was several inches long. He would scare the crap out of the cats when he'd march around. (-:

There are some at my mom's house, but I don't think I have any here that I could scan.

I can put up pics for you of many other turtles who reside at the lake if you'd like. In fact, I ran into a foot long turtle today ambling along the walking path who I helped over to the edge of the lake where ze wouldn't get trampled.
