It is a bit harder to get to these frogs since they won't let me drive at the moment. I happened to be walking past this one so devoured slightly to grab it.

Found as I was driving past for work.

Anyway, a new log signature, and one anyone who saw play school as a kid would know.

Mr Frog jumped out of the pond one day
And found himself in the rain
Said he, "I'll get wet and I might catch a cold."
So he jumped in the pond again.

Found under a letterbox in a fog and rain covered street. It was very eerie. Finding 6 frogs kind of made it surreal.

Anyway here is my log signature

Da -Glumpf went the little Green frog one day
Da- Glumpf went the little Green frog
Da -Glumpf went the little Green frog one day
And the frog went Glumpf Glumpf Glumpf
But we all know frogs go "La de da de da"
"La de da de da"
"La de da de da"
We all know frogs go "La de da de da"
They don't go glumpf glumpf glumpf

This little fellow has also been taken hostage by Postal Frog and is hanging around the green letter box..... Maybe Postal thinks that he can get away with looking Christmasy - green and red?

And now he has hopped into a hidey hole behind a couple of loose rocks, way down low, looking towards the BBQ...

Parked in an unorthodox manner but found him fairly quickly.
Will have back out soon.
Thanks for the frog

Moved 2.22km
He hopped out of the car and behind a plant.
 
02-Dec-11
Well this frog is certainly hopping or at least willing to hop. Actually he is doing back flips about being in the cache race. Great entry, I wonder how his mechanics will hold up to being outdoors?
