Throwing my apron to the side (I was making cookies). Off I run with flour all over me, from a minor flour explosion incident, some dressy but quick accessible shoes and my camera. I have lived in Frizzleburg, PA all my life and I had never seen what he was about to show me.
Right there sitting on his white railing was a white frog. He went on to tell me that the frog changes colors, much like a chameleon depending on where he is perched on at the moment.
Honestly I thought for a moment that the neighbor was playing a trick on me. Perhaps he had just painted this railing and the frog had gotten into it. But after my quick CSI investigation, I realized the railing was dry and the frogs color was too perfect to have been applied by this guy next door. So immediately I started snapping away. He mentioned that they don't touch him, he lives around their porch area and seems to be quite happy there. While cookies were baking I looked up this interesting frog online. According to this website " Gray Tree Frog (Hyla versicolor): This little guy (less than 2 inches) can change from grey to brown to green rather quickly to match his surroundings. Makes a trilling sound ... like a turkey.
Wow, who knew? Be on the look out for one in your yard.
