Catching Frogs


Lee has discovered frogs. We first found some at the farm a few weeks ago. There were about six of them hanging out in this puddle on the dirt road (where do they go once the puddle is gone, I wonder?). Lee was thrilled to be able to capture them.

The next day I took them on a fruitless search around Granny Pond, but then I remembered the pond in the Whipple Hill Conservation Area that was teeming with frogs last year. So we hiked up there, and it was heaven. Lots of frogs and tadpoles and in-betweens too. They were pretty tiny (that is Lee's hand).

If you look closely at this picture you can see the tail curled up around its body.

This was the biggest frog Lee caught.


She was so proud of herself.
