Son of Frogmato by grammyn

Son of Frogmato

Sincere apologies to @bobfoto who started the "Frogmato" frenzy and has now upped the bar to "Grassish" (grasshopper on radish). I had a 'hopper but not the radish when I took this shot! If it is difficult to distinguish the frog it is because it is still in egg form but it IS on top of the tomato! Actually there are several of them there.

Nice macro. Don't eat 'em.

Gluggle! Great sloppy frog spawn shot!
July 12th, 2013  
@fpg no problem!
July 12th, 2013  
@maggiemae LOL! thanks a bunch, MAggiemae.
July 12th, 2013  
You are so funny! Wonderful!
July 13th, 2013  
OMG, Katy you are becoming more creative by the minute. At first, I thought they were tomato seeds... LOL Very funny... I wonder what Bob is going to say about it.
July 13th, 2013  
Meg
ewww they sure are there....fun shot!
July 13th, 2013  
@anazad511 I appreciate how easily impressed you are Ana! thanks! ;~}

Deb
I can't believe you touched the eggs! Very creative shot :D
July 13th, 2013  
It's the prequel! I laughed SO heard when I saw this! Instant FAV for the super creativity! And how did you get frog eggs? I know you have a lot of frogs and was even reviewing all the frogmato shots once Tara did hers... To find that one you did of mating frogs. I had forgotten that! Your frogmato shots take the cake!
July 13th, 2013  
Do you have to tag him down here for it to work? @bobfoto
Not sure. But I thought someone told me tagging from the write up does not work?
July 13th, 2013  
@ozziehoffy Cass! Check this frogmato out.
July 13th, 2013  
@espyetta hahahah funny!!
July 13th, 2013  
Leonie and Peter.... @onie @peterdegraaf check out this frogmato! We could maybe get a whole life cycle of frog/toad on food collage on a shirt if some can get a tadpotato shot! Haha I never see tadpoles.or I would do it! I will check the pond at the university this weekend!
July 13th, 2013  
@deburahiru @espyetta - You are both correct... I can't believe Katy touched the eggs (harmful) and yes MB you have to tag it in the thread still, not in the initial post. Still a fave by the way.
July 13th, 2013  
@bobfoto harmful? To the eggs? When we raised frogs in our classroom with this kit the school system gave us, we had a card for the eggs to send in the mail. The directions when they came were to pull out the clomp and use scissors to cut them into sections of 2 to 3 and put in individual cups for the students for better observation. We were afraid to do it but we did. And they all lived fine.

July 13th, 2013  

@bobfoto oops! That was supposed to say CLUMP.
July 13th, 2013  
@bobfoto I looked it up...you meant harmful to people I think. It said that they have secretions on them that are harmful so wash hands after touching. I am really hoping that that hand washing was just something Katy thought was a good idea anyway! Hahahahahaha
July 13th, 2013  
@espyetta - I learnt something new today. I would be so afraid to mess up the whole cycle of life thing by touching the eggs. Didn't realise they were so robust!

@bobfoto @peterdegraaff @ozziehoffy @grammyn

Sexmato! hahaha! Good one , Peter! and Yes, Jason, this was years ago when we had that type of Science program as our "textbook" (we did not really even have a book..it was great..we raised creatures and plants in the room, experimented with gears and gear ratio, did experiments...this was 2nd grade. WE loved that program. Now we have the "read the textbook, learn about Science" program. But we can supplement with "hands on" things if we want....And I want! haha Anyway, my first year teaching school, I was 22 years old, and my friend was 23. Were were shocked it said take scissors to the gelatinous goo. We were like "what if we cut the eggs?" and trying to be careful. THEN we learned you cannot...you cut and the gelatin ball is super protective. And now I learn, from googling, that they often even have defensive stuff on them to protect them chemically. I learn something new every day! Literally!
July 13th, 2013  
Weird! Cool! Awesome!!
July 13th, 2013  
Lol! Soooo funny and creative. Love it!
July 13th, 2013  
ha ha...that's so funny Katy!! Loved MB's comment....the prequel!!
July 14th, 2013  
@espyetta
Thanks for the heads up MB. I started a new project, @onie_m now.
July 14th, 2013  
@espyetta - WOWEE! Thanks Ms Dailey. I am impressed. Hey when I did science we had a rifle in class so we could experiment with the velocity of a bullet.
July 14th, 2013  
@tara11 @megmills @deburahiru @ozziehoffy @peterdegraaff @onie_m @stimuloog @sunshinephoto5 thanks all for the fabulously fun comments! of course I washed my hands. I am wondering about Sexmato Peter. i guess someone will have to explain that to me. I have thoroughly enjoyed being able to entertain you all with my picture of the day Thanks so much for all the fun feedback! ;~}
July 14th, 2013  
@espyetta I think it's so sad how they want kids to sit and "learn from a book" now. Seriously, I learn better hands on and most kids do also.

Re: "literally"... did you see the "literallly" pic that Jason shared on FB and I did also cos it was so funny!
July 14th, 2013  
@ozziehoffy I did not see the "literally" pic..I don't think I did anyway. Can you send it to me on FB?

@grammyn No, thank YOU for your funny and surprising shot! :0)

@bobfoto Now experimenting with velocity of bullets was way above my pay grade. They must do that in High school! :0)
July 14th, 2013  
@onie_m Oops! Sorry Leonie!
July 14th, 2013  
@espyetta - It was high school. Still love the use of guns in the school room though. Nuts!
July 14th, 2013  
@bobfoto Ha! Yes. That would be a stretch now. Life has surely changed. I was telling my son that we did archery in PE...and then realized no way was that going to happen in school now. They think it is too dangerous.
July 14th, 2013  
@espyetta - Yes same here. We also learnt how to blow things up with two household items which I won't mention here for fear of those guys who are sitting outside my house with the dark sunglasses on.
July 14th, 2013  
@espyetta - That's good, they just drove off...
July 14th, 2013  
that really is disgusting...I might never eat a tomato again with that vision in my mind....
July 14th, 2013  
Ha ha, great shot. I did as you suggested adding my snails to the frogmato making in "snamato", so I broke with tradition there, ooops! This is such fun, thanks for sharing the joy!
July 14th, 2013  
This is really something
July 14th, 2013  
@jayberg ??? You don't like tomatoes and eggs?! LOL!
July 14th, 2013  
@silverlight You just used creative license ! Glad to see it in the loop!
July 14th, 2013  
@digitalrn Thanks? Rick
July 14th, 2013  
@grammyn yeah...right..lol
July 14th, 2013  
@jayberg LOL I agree it IS a stretch!
July 14th, 2013  
I just saw this on the PP! Whoot! Whoot!
July 15th, 2013  
Are you sure?! I am not finding it! Thanks though.
July 15th, 2013  
Congrats on PP, well deserved!
July 15th, 2013  
POP POP POP!!!
July 15th, 2013  
Congrats on the PP :)
July 15th, 2013  
@espyetta @silverlight @bobfoto @anazad511 Thanks all. I saw it and am so happy to bring frogmato to the larger audience! ;~}
July 15th, 2013  
@grammyn - I saw Frog Cherry was on the same page!
July 16th, 2013  
@bobfoto Really? I missed that
July 16th, 2013  
@bobfoto I just look and you are so right! Truly cute shot and you have started a trend for sure that keeps on expanding in its scope! ;~}
July 16th, 2013  
@grammyn - Now that I have noticed shots that don't mention the original but talk about others, means we are into the 2nd generation.
July 16th, 2013  
@bobfoto Very good to be a trendsetter for a trend into its second generation!
July 16th, 2013  
@grammyn - I should go back and revisit the original photoshoot?
July 16th, 2013  
@bobfoto You are the original ! the first shot was yours!
July 16th, 2013  
I am seriously laughing and crying all at once. Too funny all the way through. I thought those were seeds also until I read, frog eggs and thought Katy has gone over the edge now and how the &^%& did she get them up there and are they going to die now. All questions answered now and had a really good laugh and have always loved your frog/tomato shots. Maybe we will get to see these little ones along with your cardinal in the tree. Fav for me
July 17th, 2013  
@grammyn - oh but it was quite the eventful photo shoot.
July 17th, 2013  
@darsphotos Thanks so much, Darlene! especially for the FAV!
July 17th, 2013  
Love this crazy shot and the comments have been hysterical...I laughed, I cried (OK not really) and I learned a lot! LOL
July 17th, 2013  
@espyetta, I'm pretty sure Katy has an idea where to get some tadpoles.....
Katy, congrats on the PP... well deserved! Your imagination and sense of humor brighten my day!
July 24th, 2013  
@m9f9l LOL! Thanks Mary I really appreciate your constant support!
July 24th, 2013  
Haha! It's been so much fun to see how the 365er's proceeded to run amok on this creative shot. Silly wabbits. ;-)

I love your take on the frogmato craze that is sweeping the nation. I only knew what they were because I'd already seen your other frog egg shot.
August 6th, 2013  
@pasadenarose I am so happy you are entertained by my bit of nonsense! Not sure the craze is sweeping the nation ............maybe the world since it was started by Jason in Papua New Guinea!
