Friday's Fotos: Spitting Frogs

By
Industry Observer with ARFCO Media

Love this fountain... Spitting Frogs at the University Village in Seattle, Washington. Water streams from the frogs happen in random combinations and it's so fun to watch the kids and everyone else that stops to watch.

How lovely to sit by a fountain and watch kids enjoy this one especially.  We took   a break at lunch and went to see a movie, and noticed that all the fountains at the outdoor center are waterless to aid water conservation during the drought.  We missed the sound and the beauty, but we have to conserve.  A

Hi Alexandra... My heart is for all of you in California. I have heard a lot of conversation online and on the radio about the drought. The spitting frogs fountain is so much fun. I love especiall watching the little kids when they double dare each other as to which frogs spit next.

How cute is that!  interestingly enough, I collect frogs, and have a number of them in my yard.  I even have a turtle or two!

Me too, Myrl. I have a number of ceramic frogs. Not sure why, but I just found them irresistable when I discovered them and had to take them home! No turtles yet though, but I see them in my future! :O)

Sharon & Bruce... I got several pics. This is definitely one of my favorite discoveries of late.

Ed... Indeed, that cracks me up! Good call, does look they've got some attitude!

Kristin... I didn't want to bust in on any of the small kids while they were playing, but I was sure tempted!
