what the frog is going on here?! by pocketmouse

what the frog is going on here?!

Well tonight was an eventful night!

1. Simba was acting particularly strange, and so we went outside to see what was going on... and he was busy trying to attack this guy! A pretty sizeable frog - could probably fit on a large tablespoon (he also had fur and bits and pieces stuck to him, poor thing!). So I caught him in this container then we took him to a nearby bay (away from menacing cats!) and let him go :)

2. I discovered that two photos I'd entered into a competition made it to the finals! Here they are - if you'd like to vote, just visit the links below and click "Like". :) The prize is $2,000 if I win... not bad!

3. Right when I was about to retire to bed, I discovered a (2cm-diamater) spider dangling its web precariously above my bed, right where my head would be... so I got a broom and swatted it, and of course it let go of its web and landed on my bed! Before I had the chance, it scurried away. Then a few minutes later, as I was climbing under the blankets, the spider was there INSIDE MY BED - and it ran away again before I could do anything! By this point I'd had too much excitement for one night, so I gave up and went to sleep. xD Haven't seen it since (and I hope it stays that way)!
That is quiet eventful! :3 Great shot though. Nice composition!

What a day - I could not sleep after the spider - at all! Poor frog - He looks like he'd already gone a couple of rounds with Simba! Cute shot - such huge eyes!

What a great photo! I have to say though, I would not have slept in my bed with the spider on the loose, lol!

Love the frog's stunned but possibly hopeful face! And of I had a spider in my bed I would freak! Congrats on the contest!
