Today a friend visited from DC. This picture was taken the other day, but my friend and I spent some time admiring the numerous tadpoles in the pond. There are so many, though each is less than a quarter inch long. I was leaning over the pond the better to see the tiny creatures when I suddenly noticed one of these frogs in a flower bucket less than 6 inches from my nose. This picture was taken the other day, but fits today anyway. I just noticed that there are actually two frogs in this picture, making it even more appropriate.
