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

Oh my Gosh, what a fat little frog
I have found them under my Hosta, but never sitting on a leaf! That is a great photo, and he certainly looks happy

Ooh! Those pictures made me shiver!
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.
