June 27, 2010, multiply, A frog in the pond

It's almost midnight and here I am doing late night watering, locking the shed and tidying up the garden furniture when I hear a noise from the pond. Quick as the flash on my camera I point the torch in the direction of the sound and click ................and here is my little visitor.... Mr (or Mrs) Frog. I've not seen him since first thing this morning, I thought he had gone......................

My daughter let her small pool go too long without cleaning and the tree frogs moved in... hundreds of tadpoles. (I'm gonna steal some for my pond) lol I love to hear the tree frogs at night. Do you have them where you live?

edit delete reply forgetmenot525 wrote on Jun 27, '10 Aww I'm just so pleased, I hope he stays in my garden, and what I would really like is frogspawn in the pond next year. My sister who lives in France has just found tiny baby newts in her small pond..........and her pond is just an old childs sand pit in the shape of a clam shell that she left out over the winter!!... aint nature wonderful :-)

One day Gina (my granddaughter) and I were working near the pond when all at once,in the middle of the afternoon, our frog just started croaking away. Even more ususual... HE WAS RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF A FLOWER BED ! lol At least 20 feet from the pond.
