Frogs!

I have always been fond of frogs. I love to hear them in the spring, I'm always looking around for them when I'm out in the wild, and I've kept them as pets.

There's a special exhibit of them at the Springfield Science Museum: Frogs: a chorus of colors. Deb and I made an impromptu visit yesterday.

A weekend visit to a science museum seems like a bad plan: think throngs of children and adults. But apparently the warm weather kept everyone outside yesterday. We had the exhibit place entirely to ourselves!

I didn't have my camera with me, but I did take a few mobile phone snaps.

Chinese gliding frog

I think that's the best shot.

Blue poison frog

And it's hard to take a bad picture of a Poison dart frog.

The rest of the snaps, well. Not so much.

Tomato frogs

I kept a tomato frog as a pet years ago. Sweet little things.

Long-nosed horned frogs

African bullfrog

Big. Squared.

African clawed frog

Amazon milk frog

Borneo eared frogs

Smooth sided toad

Smokey jungle frog

Ornate horned frog

I've been thinking about setting up another terrarium. If I do, I think one of these little bruisers might become a resident.
