Was It A Bird...Or Is It A.....Frog???

Jack and I have multiple bird feeders in the front yard - in fact our front yard is mainly birdseed "grass"  LOL.  We love to watch them feed - even the squirrels keep us entertained.  Yesterday we were standing out on the driveway and along the herb garden in front of the house is a small fence covered with Carolina Jessamine - so pretty in the spring with all of the tiny yellow flowers blooming.  I saw something on top of one of the fence posts and thought - DARN THOSE BIRDS - if you know what I mean.  LOL  As I got closer I realized it was the most beautiful tiny frog - black and white.  It looked like a primitive crackled frog and it was just sitting on that tiny little fencepost with it's front feet crossed like it was praying.  Since I can always use an extra prayer or two I imagined it was deep in meditation.  I'm not sure how exactly he hopped up there or when he left, but it was a special beautiful piece of nature that made my day.

Enjoy!

    Love the frog, Jill. As for birds, well, I'm not a lover of them....long story connected with that statement!! Anyway, I've always loved frogs and that one is adorable.

    Thanks for coming by my blog and leaving a comment, Blogger, however, decided who's comments they would allow to be accepted and posted...I'm beginning to hate blogger!! Had another friend that had a similar problem and he's moved his blog somewhere else. Oh well...what's a person to do...bleh.

    Just letting you know that Flat Betty is finally moved in and is loving her notoriety!! LOL

    Have a great week and take care.

    xxoo,

    True for you,too, my friend...

    Thanks for visiting my blog so I could stop by - loved this post. The frog reminded me of how I would paint it and "age" it if I could - I am accused of painting anything that holds still long enough. I love his little hands!

    thanks for sharing,
    elizabeth :-)
