I remember seeing frogs everywhere when I was a young boy and then they were nowhere to be seen... last year I noticed one but didn't get a picture. Today I was lucky to see a good half dozen but this guy was just so beautiful. Makes my heart full to find them in numbers

Out of curiosity, what general part of the world do you live in?

Where I live in the southern part of the USA, there are frogs everywhere. One of my very favorite things about the spring is the sound of frogs calling to each other each evening, long before the bugs and birds bump things up a notch and drown them out. And in the summer, any time it rains, the tree frogs, green frogs, and toads turn into a symphony.

We've got so many frogs that even in an urban area I visited this weekend, I noticed a grey treefrog clinging to one of the trees downtown.

Insect population collapse means fewer animals up the chain ๐Ÿ˜Ÿ

Giant photo for a tiny bit of frog. Do you crop?

Consider it, please. For the connectively impaired.

i did a zoomed pic, figured it wasn't as good

Disagree. Much better.

I was griping about the posted cause it took forever to load. And with a full WiFi connection, not just over phone lines.
