A damp and muddy country path.
The ground ahead of me is moving.
I walk faster, eager to see why.
Hundreds of tiny frogs.
Each no bigger than my thumbnail.
Fascinating.

For true a wonderful share, Pete! You have to consider renaming the village in to “Froggley”. :-)) Michael

That would be fascinating. We call them peepers, and they’re the first sign of spring.

Peepers is a nice name for tiny frogs, Jennie.

It must be a New England thing. They ‘peep’ from the swampy areas at dusk in early spring.

Gargantua: “It was a damp and muddy country path. The ground ahead of me was moving. I walked faster, eager to see why. Hundreds of tiny frogs. Each no bigger than my thumbnail. Fascinating!”

I confess I have eaten frog’s legs in France. They were very tasty, and also very expensive!

We have a pond next to the house and it becomes a frog breeding ground as the weather warms up. The frogs are great fr keeping the slug population down and as they fatten up they become food for the storks who have started to make a food stop here.
Nothing more amazing than nature 🙂

No storks around here, but I have seen them in other countries. They’re really big. 🙂

Love the spring when new born frogs and turtles cross through on their way to the pond.

That was a first for me, Don. A few years back, and there had been a storm not long before. Must have made the baby frogs decide to move house. 🙂

It was a sight to see, John. From a distance, it looked like the earth was moving sideways, each tiny frog covered in mud. 🙂

Frogs are cute. Not sure why loads people are scared of them. I once saw a bunch of tiny frogs in a pothole while visiting a city where it rains every day. I and my friend watched them jump around the. hole and road until the rest of the party threatened to disown us.

This reminds me of when my boys were small and we kept a few tadpoles in some water in the front room. One morning they had all morphed into frogs and were hopping over our green carpet. What a nightmare.

I really like frogs, but Julie is scared of them. We sometimes get quite large ones in the back garden. I think they are heading for next door’s small fish-pond.

I love frogs. Like bats, they’ve got lovely little faces. I was reading one evening and Sam came in from the garden with a frog in his hands and dropped the poor thing onto my book.
