Oh, liittle froglet...I seeeee youuuuu!!! Isn't it amazing how well this little guy blends in with the rock he's on? It doesn't hurt that his skin is very translucent--his toes are almost completely transparent!

Pacific Tree Frogs come in many shades of green and brown and have the ability to change their color over the course of hours, days or weeks. In fact, I have a fun story to share about this!

We have an upstairs deck outside our bedroom where we grow our tomato plants. Every year frogs find their way up to the deck where they have access to water, cool shade, and a steady stream of insects to eat which come to visit the plants.

A couple of nights ago it was really hot so we opened the door to cool off the bedroom. Later we went into our game room before bed and I was busy replying to comments when I noticed something out of the corner of my eye. I looked down to the floor and to my surprise, I saw a Pacific Tree Frog! It was the pale beige color of our carpet and looked very confused. I was amazed! This frog hopped through the back door, through the bedroom, down the hall, turned right and went down the hall, turned left and hopped into the game room, turned right and finally ended up in my field of view! I can hardly believe it!! This frog would have certainly died except that it travelled all that way, where I found it--or rather, it found Mama Frog! I scooped it up, brought it into the bathroom and washed off all the dog hair it managed to collect along the way and after it squirted out of my grasp a couple of times, I managed to get it downstairs and out into the cool foliage in our front yard. Wow, I wonder if that was Lucky's mom or dad?! That was one extremely lucky froggy!! :D

More fun froggy facts tomorrow, along with another picture from Lucky's Pond! :)

By the way, I've uploaded two other pictures today and I hope you'll visit them too!
