oops--I loaded the pictures backwards--obviously, the tadpole picture is on the bottom.
David found a tadpole in a puddle, and he brought it home so we could watch it for a while. (The puddle dried up the next day!!) It was thrilling watching him (or her) grow little arms and legs. Last night he was swimming around with a tail. This morning...he had disappeared!! We finally found him not far away on the table. Well, we said to ourselves...what kind of frog could climb up a sloping glass wall? What kind of frog has big clingy pads on his toes? A TREEFROG!! How wonderful is that? We're reading up on the best place to let him go. But we think he might be a pine barren treefrog, which is an endangered species. Isn't he beautiful?

No, Tincanman, not watching David grow little arms or legs. The TADPOLE.
He's rather lovely isn't he ?
Pine Barrens treefrog? Blimey, we'll be getting them in Scotland next!
Thank you, steenbeck - s/he's gorgeous. Boys are pretty lovely too.
Cute frog & spawn pics (sorry, someone had to).
Steenbeck, these photos are great, your boys look super. Hope you find a home for the little tree frog.
fab photos!
cool photos steen, and nice to see the boys.
great treefrog.
and great pics of the lads.. smart monster and pirate t- shirts too.
Thank you everybody, for your kind comments. UPDATE.. we now think he's a grey tree frog, who sometimes present as green. (Don't you like that use of the word "present"?) ANd so we know where we should let him go, but we've become very attached.
Saneshane--EVERYBODY wants to know where I got the Malcolm monster shirt!
I guess Malcolm needs an 'Isaac the Terrible' one to wear right back!
You and treefrofdemon would probably love this local restaurant where I live called The Frogstone Grill. All the decorations are frog oriented and the food is great too.
They have a website too - at http://www.frogstone.com/
PS They do not serve frog legs! They like frogs!
