frog, painted

There's a small pool in the rose garden at the Stevens-Coolidge Place. There are lily pads, and on some days there are frogs sitting and sunning. Today there were three frogs enjoying the pond, one perched on a lily pad, the other two popping their heads up then disappearing when they realized they were not alone.

I was lucky to meet this frog, a beauty with golden circles surrounding his eyes and gold stripes down his very green body.
