On Saturday I went to my school reunion and when I got home I found that somewhere in my travels I’d picked up a hitch-hiker and still don’t have the froggiest idea how he came to be in my car.
As you may know if you read this blog I have encountered various frogs as I venture around on my days off. I have found some rare ones (photos) and some very tiny ones (photos) but never have I imagined one this big and beautiful living in the wild. In fact, he was so big and lovely it was impossible to capture his awesomeness on my mobile phone camera and these photos do not do him justice.
My family wondered if he was from somewhere else, like another state, but when I enquired with a park ranger they told me he was a green tree frog common in the Wynyard area, but that his size was unusual. We enjoyed each others company for a while and he was quite friendly and affectionate, enjoying scratches under his chin and pats on the head. He was then returned to the wild away from cats and people.
NO WAY!!! I LOVE frogs!! He is so cool, we don’t have ones with such tree climbing cool fingers here in the uk, but I do love them! :] xx
