Unlike yesterday’s I clearly remember taking this picture! Again not a very good one – grainy from being taken in the late evening in fading light, and so had to be edited, but I digress.
This chap was sitting on the lily pad, oozing some sort of silvery, sticky fluid (which may mean he is actually a she – but your guess is as good as mine!), and generally hanging out! This is the same pond by the way, where I took this picture! We watched it for a long time and I remember Ishaan being rather fascinated with it. Frogs are not a favorite of mine – all that hopping and croaking and sudden wet flicks of the sticky tongue creep me out π But when they’re far enough away, I’m fine, especially when there are pictures to be taken π I’m glad I found this picture, it reminded me inevitably of The Frog Prince fairy-tale and that’s what inspired the Haiku π
And if the Prince should turn out to be a Princess – my apologies! π
Too bad it turned out grainy – it’s such a cool water drop he’s sitting in!
I bet he’s thinking of that pink lily your photographed, and how he can use it to woo his princess π
LOL…maybe he is π But that isn’t a water drop he’s sitting in. It’s something he or she secreted while sitting! I have no clue what it is! It couldn’t be that the Prince is actually a Princess engaged in egg laying could it?!
What? Not water? I kind of hope it’s a princess laying eggs, because to think he wet his pants in anticipation is almost intolerable π
ROFL….now that you’ve put that out there…I’m sure that’s what it is π
Princely aspirations!! Love it π He looks very cozy there too in his little puddle on a puddle.
Thanks Elisa π
