April 10, 2008

It was frosty again last night, the frogs and toads have retreated to the bottom of the pond, this photo is from last Friday, taken during the day, when it was warm and spring like

Surface tension 1

But is it a frog or a toad? I’m getting in a tizz with the identification, could someone do me a favour and work it out please? I think the answers might be here It looks like an interesting site and I’d like to spend some time hopping around it, but I have work to do, *sigh*; but first tea, much tea is needed, I’ll go and get the kettle on.

  2. I looked at it the same way bobsmum did and saw an alligator! (Or a crocodile - never can remember which is which - just take comfort from the complete absence of both from northern Michigan.)

    I love the curves of the surface tension. It’s amazing to me what you and your camera are able to show us.

    Thanks Jon, the next task is to try and see if we have any newts in the pond, a neighbour does, so I am hopeful.
