The Froday Froggie!

This Froday froggie wishes you a happy weekend!



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.



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.

I like his camo spots. He's a handsome fella, for a frog.

Aw, a pickle with legs is such a cute description of this fellow. A cicada feast with a pickle on the side! :-D

What a cute frog! I saw a couple of toads during my exploration of the park near my home. I also had a large toad residing in my yard for several days :-)

i love him! Back when my kids were tabpoles, we bought a tree frog. He was a charming, delicate-looking little thing. The first night we had him, we were in the living room after supper and there was this sudden, bass-ish *booming* sound. All that very deep and serious sound coming from that little man. We named him B Minor (the chord I was learning on the guitar at the time, which sounded kind of bass-y and dissonant to me)

Miss that boomin' B.......

Happy weekend to you, too! Such a handsome frog. I can hear frogs here from time to time, but have yet to see one (I'm pretty sure they aren't as big, as that fellow, though).
