I Scream Falls

I took this shot of a mini waterfall off of the bike path when out for my run the other day. I hadn't brought my camera and then went back to the car to get it and returned down the trail for a few photos as I saw so many lovely things.

A funny thing happened when I went to get this shot. I took a couple shots from the shoreline that was up above and decided to go lower and down in the water for this shot. When I stepped down, a large white gray frog leapt right in front of my feet and I screamed like a little girl. I am not normally a screamer or afraid of harmless frogs, but I was just so startled. Pretty funny.

Today, I just finished reading an amazing book that was based on a true story called, Follow the River by James Alexander Thom. It is perhaps one of the best books I've read. The tale of a young pioneer woman who was captured by indians during a raid on her village. She was so full of strength, grit and courage and she would not have screamed like a girl at the site of a frog. She would have eaten it. AMAZING read!! http://www.amazon.com/dp/0345338545/?tag=googhydr-20&hvadid=8052469807&hvpos=1t1&hvexid=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=12343444811893671803&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=e&hvdev=c&ref=pd_sl_6gw54ddjor_e

Great tale of the grey frog! I laughed at your comparison with the book character! I can almost hear this stream trickling down the rocky hillside!
