Squeaking frog


I've been drifting off topic a bit in my last couple of posts, so now it is back to the focus of the blog, which is my frog friends. This is a particularly fine portrait of Frogger, or at least I think it's Frogger but I can't honestly say that I can tell them apart for sure. Something very odd happened today: I came outside and there were two frogs sitting near the house on the edge of the pool, I think they were in and out. As I was walking past, I startled on of them (in?) and he (it) let out a loud SQUEAK and took a flying leap into the center of the pool. I had no idea that frogs made those kinds of noises under those kinds of circumstances - Not very bright, really, if your going for stealth, and the frogs are pretty good at stealth. I also suspect I may now have a fourth frog, I saw three frogs at once today and none looked big enough to be Frogger, one of them is in fact quite small, however as I said I am not very confident in my ability to ID the frogs so unless I see all of them at one time I can't know for sure. I watched the hamster dance all the way to the end last night, no surprise ending, just a fade out. I was kind of disappointed.
