Is that really a pumpkin that froggy is sitting on? Look more like a rock to me . . . :)

Pricilla said...

And he does look to be a very contemplative froggie...

Bossy Betty said...

I would just like to sit and look at that froggie all day!

Thanks for coming by my blog today! I always appreciate your comments!

I think without computers people had time to come up with important things.

Ann said...

I don't like crowds so I would rather sit alone on a pumpkin too :) Think that frog would care to join me? He's a handsome one

Depends on where the stem is. :D

Lovely photo of the frog!

Vanilla--Ah, the frogs. I'm going to miss them in a month or two. :(

Grace--I was feeling a bit grumpy when I posted this. I was going to add more to the post, but thought better of it as time wore on. I think it says it all.

Natalee--WHAT??! How can you hate frogs and toads?? Do they creep you out or something?

Chuck--Well, you get the point. ;)

Pricilla--Or he's just enjoying the waterfall. Wish I could fit.

Betty--I do that--I actually sit and watch them. Although they just sort of watch me back. :) I did enjoy your post today, pally.

Violet--I was grumpy and wanting to be alone when I posted this. I think the quote fit my mood perfectly.

peewee--Well, it's kinda nice to sit beside it. You can enjoy it without getting wet. :)

Tracy--Or they just relaxed more. :)

Ann--I'm with ya! There are some days when I just want to be alone. I was feeling that way when I posted this.

Beaded Tail--Hahaha! I like that. ;)

Fran's Dad--I was feeling crabby when I posted this. I liked the thought of being alone and embracing my crabbiness.

He looks like he was carved and placed there for effect.

FishHawk said...

Um, had that frog just taken a leak in your pond?

Catherine said...

Hey froggy ~ I think I saw your cousin this weekend! :)

xo Catherine

Lin said...

Sharky--Aren't they pretty? There is some beauty in those frogs--hard as it may be to find them "handsome". I have a male this year who is exceptionally beautiful.

Fish--I do find frog poop every now and then, Fish. Really. And that gets kind of interesting when they've eaten a bird. ;0

Catherine--Ahhh, frogs and toads! Life is good. :)
