Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder ~ Jared’s Frog

By Lorraine

And this green creature is beautiful to our grandson, Jared.
He and Pop-Pop caught tadpoles this spring and put them into our little pond.
This little guy is the only one to survive.

Do you remember this rhyme?

Over in the meadow,
In the sand in the sun
Lived an old mother toadie
And her little toadie one
“Wink!” said the mother;
“I wink!” said the one,
So they winked and they blinked
In the sand in the sun

I liked this photo of bubbles created by the tiny pond fountain. Notice the little orange at the top/center… they are the goldfish getting bigger and bigger.

    Frogs are always so much fun to watch in our ponds but you're right in that they wander or visiting wildlife find them tasty.
    Thanks for sharing your cute fellow.

    Oh how cute ! We used to have 4 frogs, they lived in one of our ponds. They used to be so much fun to watch.But they used to come out of the pond and wander around ,which probably led to their demise…sigh
    Oh well …..,
    Enjoy your weekend ~

    I don't see many frogs here, though they are around. My friends had pet ones.

    He may not be the most handsome guy I've ever seen but he sure is a beautiful shade of green. Great photos and the one of the bubbles is really cool.

    If I so him in reality, I would freak out. But he looks so cute in the picture, really cute.

    I like this frog too!

    As a home school momma I have found myself liking all kinds of creatures I never imagined I would ever get close to. One son used to carry snakes in his pocket. I never did get used to that, nor did I encourage it!

    Have a Happy Day!

    I'm with Jared ~ I think he is quite handsome ~ for a frog! Just look how nicely he is posing for you! He must be so happy to live in your pond.
    Great Outdoor Wednesday post!
    Blessings!

    Love this guy and your photos do him quite a lot of justice. They are clear and beautiful. I like the bubbles too; they make for an interesting texture on the surface of the water.

    Those guys have such fabulous colors. We had a frog family when we had our pond. They were hilarious and fun. So glad to see you enjoying yours. Jane F.
