Frog Warriors

This afternoon I walked out to get the mail and see if UPS had come by.  As I walked by the pond in the front yard I was surprised by the sound of frantic splashing and the sight of something huge in the water.  It looked like a big meaty disembodied hand slapping the surface of the water.  When I looked more carefully I realized it was two fat frogs with round bloated bellies, their arms wrapped around each other in a bear hug.  I watched for a few seconds as they turned around and around in the water as if they were fighting over some girl-frog’s honor.  I turned and ran back to the house to get my camera so I could capture it to share. It seems passionate frogs are camera shy and not amenable to exposé videomaking.
