I've been taking advantage of the beautiful spring weather we continue to have by heading back to the reservoir whenever I can. As I was hiking on Tuesday, I heard a very loud noise that sounded like a car engine struggling to turn over, but how could that be in the middle of the woods? I walked a little farther and found the source of the racket in a swampy section. I'm not sure if these guys are frogs or toads, but there were hundreds of them jumping around, sunning themselves, and croaking at the top of their lungs. This little one came up close to me to get his picture taken ... or maybe he just wanted to get away from his noisy friends. Much like my new amphibian pals, I get cold very easily, even when others around me are perfectly comfortable. My friends kid me about it saying I need to sun myself like a lizard on a rock to get warm. Not a bad idea. Nothing like feeling a little sun on my bum. :)

Frogs & toads are my absolute favorite animals. I had a baby Southern toad on my patio this morning. He was maybe 3/4 of an inch long at most. Soooo tiny. I love this time of year!
All this reminds me why I like Spring so well
Hearing the frogs singing at night is fascinating too
Many happy tannings pixie

Frogs are so cute. There are some frogs down south where my grandmother lives that make noises just like sheep. Tiny, un-wooly, green sheep.
There will now undoubtedly be many offers to "warm you up"......although what you meant and what they'll mean are definitely going to be two different things....

Dr. Ken - You're right, there are a couple different ways to "warm up". Both can be fun though.
Sierra - You should come visit! There's always fun (and trouble) to find in the woods. :)
Well Pixie... I can see now that your familiar with BOTH ways of getting your behind tanned. :-)
