    I went out to turn on the outside faucet so I could water some flowers and saw this little toad on the side of the house. So, I came inside and got my camera. He posed quite nicely.

    I went and looked and it is still sitting in the same place but it has it's legs folded in to his body. It's cloudy out today so it may be cool there. He could find some bugs out there in the evening and night.

    I'm so glad he decided to pose nicely for the camera. I hope he has lots of friends for company to keep the bugs under control for you.

    Cute little guy! We have those occasionally on our patio doors, or sitting on the patio. We try to avoid disturbing them--they are pretty calm.

    Nice green tree frog picture. Hyla cinerea. Should be asleep, they are nocturnal. I wonder if they sleep with their eyes open. :)
