Frogs! Frogs! Frogs!

Was walking on 30-A this weekend near Lucilles and the tiny frogs were everywhere. We had to walk slow because they were all over the sidewalks by the thousands. Smaller than a dime.

Origin of these frogs

For those unfamiliar with this piece of history (or worthless trivia as some might say), there is an interesting reason why we have so many frogs.

The 1972 horror film, aptly titled "Frogs", was filmed at Eden. The house and surrounding area are the main locale. Without going into much plot detail (trust me, it truly is as bad as you can imagine, although I am sure some will find the tale of environmental caution relevant with our current events), numerous amphibians and reptiles were brought in for filming. Many of these frogs and toads escaped, and possibly were released, during filming.

Undoubtedly, many of our current frogs and toads are descended from these "famous" amphibians.

For more info, check out the IMDB page, and I believe the trivia section references the escape of of the frogs. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0068615/ I personally have heard the same tale numerous times locally.

I went to get in my car after my lunch break and saw a frog sitting in my passenger seat. I dont know how it got there. Was a little weird...lol

If you see any of them wearing a tiny gold crown, catch him and keep him until I can get there to kiss him.

Pucker up!

He's sitting on our screened porch. I don't think he's a prince- Kate has kissed and kissed him, and he looks the same!

They were not supposed to be able to interbreed with our native amphibians. However, it was the escape of the reptiles which greatly bothered my elementary-school mind at the time.
