The Frogs are Calling


This morning, while walking the dog, I couldn't hear the NPR news I had downloaded on my iPod. Why? The tree frogs of Central New York were climbing trees and singing their songs in order to get jiggy with it. I live near several wetland swamps, so frogs are common. The noise I heard this morning was magical and the above video clip is about one billionth of the cacophony of this morning's walk.

Later in the day, I also went for a run, but this time I went without my iPod. I listened to the horny frogs instead, making a chatroom out of the woods, forests and gutters. Let the singing begin and let it last for at least another five months.
