My WORDLESS WEDNESDAY pictures and some selected POEMS & STORIES.
Charles,
My Darlin' collects frogs, and she loves this photo! Thanks.
Mike in Tucson
This is quite a piece of art!
Well that's interesting, Charles. Someone has an artistic eye.
ribid.
Hi Charles,
I bet that is a traffic stopper. Neat photo.
Connie Lou
How cute. There are a couple of rocks painted to look like things along highways here- we always look for them. And somebody painted "Big Foot" tracks accross the highway, but some authority (presumably) painted them over.
Hi Charles,
Someone is quite artistic! I'm sure it's a traffic stopper too! Thanks for sharing it with us! Have a great day!
Chris
Charles - I have frogs all over my yard. . .But none are as large as that one! Great shot!
That's how I felt when I was stationed in CT at Groton!
Your good friend in Washington State!
Paul
Kermit is that you?? I think I see Nutsy hiding behind that frog.
Love It! I've been in a rut all day, and you just made me smile! Thanks.
OK.......Here's the deal with the frog. Yes, a very large glacial boulder, quite common around here. This was Frog Rock State Park, a popular picnic site alongside the road when we were kids (1940s - 1960s). It is now NOT looking like this, but, rather, weedy and grown-in, picnic benches long gone (State cut-backs, of course), and the entry roads blocked off. Supposedly, the State of CT is making arrangements to have the Town of Eastford take it over, but I haven't heard anything recently.
He's terrrific! I so hope the town takes it over - it's sad to see our parks lose funding...
Debi
Mike, thanks----hop that makes her hopeing happy:)
Gregory, it is quite the landmark
Liz---and quite a while ago too
Alan, Ribit, Ribit to you too
Connie it used to be more than it is now----kind of abandoned unless you know where it is
Prest Realty---that is the way it goes isn't it?
Chris see my comment to Connie above
Craig---same to you I am sure:)
Myrl, I would bet not---this one is about 10 feet tall
Paul, how is that, stoned?:)
Heather is is actually your nutsy uncle taking a leak:)
Amy, glad to help push you out of your rut
Hey that is my big sister commenting on my blog---how cool is that!!! But Dottie, I must protest I took this picture this last spring when I was there---if you walk in past the barracades this is what it looks like----I swear.
Debi----I suspect they will----too cool to let slide
Charlie,
You big toad. How can you get points for posting a self photo.
Looks like Kermit is alive and well and living in Connecticut ☺☺☺
Helping you live your American dream...
I know that frog!
That must be Croakster. Where is Jay to claim his fame?
Steve----what ever works---ribit
Michael ----a bit stoned----but ok
James----I would hope so:)
Kate----good question----I suspect he will show up sooner or later
Mr Charles,
That frog is better looking than you I am afraid. The assistants are often better looking than the bosses.
Nutsy'
Very kindly,
Croakster
I first thought it was a picture of me in the morning with out makeup.
now I think it is a shot of self after the makeup. cw
Nutsy, in your case that is for sure true---especially when you break out the bikini
Croakster---all I can say is "ribit"
Cheryl, now you can't fool me----I would believe that you might have kissed some frogs but you are not likely to be one.
That is one rock they probably encourage the moss to grow on.
