Critters in the Garden

Frog

There are colonies of these frogs in various places around the garden. This particular one lives with 4 or 5 of his friends or family under an airconditioner. There is another group clustered around a light fixture in the eaves of the roof.

They stay in a protected, shady area during the day and come out at night to eat.

One frog likes to sleep on top of a small windchime. I always wondered how he managed to get in there, and one morning I finally saw.


	Starting out on the top rafter (1), the frog leapt across the open space to land on the windchimes, clinging to the strings (2).
	A few wriggles, and the frog manages to get in between the strings to the flat area on top of the windchime (3).

Once he is in position he has a nice, shady spot where he can catch a breeze as he gently swings on the windchimes (4).
