    Have a close look at their eyes- beautiful colour. And their lugubrious expressions- I love them.

    I allways had frogs here i just never had any frog spawn i wanted some for the grandson to see..i am having second thoughts about that now if i get any i may remove it elsewhere..we were over run with frogs when we moved in i havnt got a clue where thay came from as i only had a pond this year..the fields at the back have no water in them..next door only had their pond 3 years ago so its a puzzle..I know some of you think they are lovely well i dont really mind them now but i certainly cant see them as figments of beauty..some people dont like mice yet i have a mouse living under the wood by the pond and i feed him daily its just a matter of choice...i wouldnt hurt the frogs as i know they are good for the garden..i have heard of some people chopping them with garden spades..as they dislike them..which i think is wicked..

    must just say i dont know a lot about frogs..but after reading some of your posts about them walking accross the lawn etc..i know if i do get any spawn will have to take it to a pond as my dog would trample anything walking accross the lawn..as he has giant size feet..and the lawn is his...

    Perhaps we (HB and I) will never convert you but at least you will tolerate them (won't you?) :D
