there be frogs a'jumpin.....

Bueno!
Today, I see frogs.....
    I see frogs jumpin'......
        I see green frogs jumpin'.....

Ghost Glass Frog

It must be a frog jumpin' day!

c. 1916

I like the graphics that go with this little poem!


Just a note here - you never see Great Danes in silly costumes like these,
right?

Ah, a day at the pond...


Checkin' out the chicks....
Prince Azim, Disney's The Princess and the Frog

Singin' a few froggy songs....

c. 1896

Playin' hide & seek....


 artwork can be found at web site to right

Splashin' each other....


and playin' froggy games....



and hidin' out from the bull frogs
(they're bullies you know)....



Some frogs like to sketch self portraits,
over at the edge of the pond....



and some just like to soak up the sun,
      and the humidity,
                and the green.....
 Hyloscirtus_colymba_Jaramillo, almost extinct 

Pristimantis_moro_Jaramillo 

There's always one who's grouchy,
no matter what....


and one who's just a big mouth.......


Some frogs are fashion-istas.....

and some get into home decor....

If you don't have this book.....you should!
But mostly,



Frogs just are.



Hope you have a frog jumpin' day!
