Kind of ugly close up. These guys always startle me when I'm weeding. I'm sure I startle them.

Ooh! Those pictures made me shiver! :lol:

We used to see so many frogs and toads - now I very seldom see anything except our dear little tree frogs.

What a great looking guy! I wish I had some of those around here. I've got the little tree frogs, but I never see the big boys like this guy. Thanks for sharing!

He's very cute!

I saw a little toady a few days ago... I hope mine sticks around too - very neat solution to the slug problem

What a wonderful picture of the frog. You should enter it in a photo contest.
