I was cleaning out stones which had fallen into the frog pools when I came to this stone. I lifted the flap of pool liner which was covering the stone and saw . . .
. . . a frog perched on the stone attempting to move into hibernation. Well I decided that stone could stay right where it was. Then I noticed a second frog in the water behind this same stone. He, too, looked very black.
As I took these photographs, the frog opened his eyes as if to say, “Okay, that’s enough. I’m ready to hibernate. Please cover me back up and go away.”
