    This little guy was just having himself a ball hiding and watching me tend to the other plants.

    He is a cutie. I haven't seen one in my yard in a couple of years.

    What a great place he's found to hide. The flies better look out or they're going to end up as his lunch. ;)

    I love it when I find surprises like that in my yard...since I don't use chemicals in my yard, I have seen quite a few.

    I like your container...

    What a cutie. Will he turn into a prince if you kiss him? We've got frogs, but the big cat loves to chase them. :(

    Aw he's a real cutie. I often see frogs in my yard and look for them in the same place nest day or two and they are not there. Hope you see him again.

    Ha ha ha Cheryl--that was a good one. What a nice surprize and what a good foto of it.
    Did you approach it with puckered lips? ;)

    Looks like it's made itself quite comfortable there. I have a bunch roaming around my yard this year. More than I have ever seen before. I have to be careful when I go out so I don't step on them.

    He only stayed there for a couple of more hours. And then left... I guess I aggravated him too much by trying to get a closeup. :-D
    And no Sjoerd... I did not try to kiss him! :D :D
    Sherry... I love that old pot too. Can't remember where I got it, but it sure looks cute in the garden.
