Things that Make you Go Ewww

We have about a hundred trees in our yard (not really), so we have tons of leaves, pine needles, and limbs. They accumulate in a pile for me to burn every so often. Since we've been in this drought, I haven't been able to burn for several months. Finally, the burn ban in our county has been lifted! So, I started burning... (this pic is at the end of two hours work)

After finding a snake (which I did not get a picture of), I found this guy. He is a frog. I have lived in ETX for 30 years now and have never found a frog this big just out in the yard/woods. Toads, yes. They are like cats in the Patterson Addition--everywhere. But not frogs.

You could tell he was different than a toad. His head was more pointed and he really watched you, turning his head as I moved my hand. Weird.

Look at those legs! I knew he was a frog once I saw those.

This is behind our house. We have a creek that runs through our yard and empties here. I thought it would be a good home for him.

Good luck Big Guy!
