The frogs in our backyard...





This little guy is just an example of the many frogs that we have in our backyard. Come to our house any night - especially nights when it has rained - and you will find (or hear) dozens of these little guys. When I first moved to Florida, I didn't know what that sound was that I was hearing. It sounded like screeching or something. No, I found out that it was frogs.

In the back of our house, next to the garage we have a white fence that circles our backyard. the place where the fence meets the house at the garage has a light above it. The bugs are attracted to the light, and the frogs climb up the wall or fence and sit on top, eating the bugs that gather at the light. It is kinda cute and fun to look at, but I always feel bad when we startle the frogs... they go hopping away and sometimes try to "escape" us by hopping into our garage. The only problem there is that they may go in nice and squishy and alive, but we usually find them when we move a box or something... all crunchy and dead :(
