    What a surprise to find this little fellow when I walked out the back door. It's the perfect hiding place for stalking little flies like the on on the petal!

    What a clever frog. I would have loved to see him trying to hop up there to get in.

    Well spotted Daph. That little chap knows just where to position himself so tht he can't be seen. What a great photograph. :-D

    It took me forever to find what you all were talking about. Seems impossible, it's sooo cute.

    I love it. So glad you were able to snap this nice picture.

    That's so wonderful your neighbors do that....I would take them too. I do not use any chemicals in my garden or on my lawn either. The frogs, lizards, and other critters do a pretty good job of keeping the bugs in check.
