frog pond- so many leaps of faith
frog pond...
frog pond.-
frog pond-
frog twangs off and on around the little pool... 6-6-16
frog eyes just above the water line ...
frog eyes looking back...
frog floats on the surface...
frog holding on
frog in a frog pond...
frog in a small puddle pond off Pine Tree Rd...
frog in puddle off Pine Tree Rd.
frog life -
frog life today... watching and waiting
frog life

asked to arrange
the flowers in a vase
I put them in any which way-
so glad there are some things
which can’t go wrong
