Little Froggie
Uploaded: June 09, 2010
While talking to my neighbor at the fence that separates our backyards, I caught this little guy hopping around. This is a Fowler's Toad according to our State Department of Natural Resources. He could fit in the palm of my hand since he is so tiny!

Oh, I would have loved to seen him...never heard of a Fowler's toad before - love all his little warts! Wonderful shot, Ruth...this is a fine example of never having your camera far away from you - even when chit-chatting with a neighbor! :) Well done on all counts! #8682651Kerry Hill June 09, 2010
