I love frogs.
Vegan Chickie fell in love with them in her childhood after her Nan placed a green tree frog in her hand one day. Through buying ornamental frogs as gifts for her, I developed a deeper appreciation of them, and now collect them myself.
Everybody in the family either collected something or obsessively supported a football team, so they were very easy to buy gifts for at Christmas, birthdays, anniversaries etc.,
My sister collected giraffes. My niece collected dalmatians. My youngest daughter was a Penrith supporter. Number one son supported Balmain NRL club (who later became Wests Tigers), Adoring Husband was a Cronulla Sharks supporter and Nan supported the Broncos.
It was my turn to choose something to collect. I wanted something that would be difficult to find. Something that people would really have to search to find. So I chose geckos.
From that moment on, geckos were EVERYWHERE! You just don't see things until you start looking!
Even though I have an impressive and lovely collection of geckos and I DO love them. My love for frogs is much stronger.
I have no idea how many I have, but they are scattered throughout the house and the garden and from where I sit right now, I can see 26 different ornamental frogs. I'm not obsessed, although it probably wouldn't take much for me to become that way!
Here are just a few of my frogs:
I obsessively hunt around my garden for green frogs and take photos at every opportunity:
One of my favourite songs is Rainbow Connection by Kermit The Frog, but that's enough sharing for today!
