So, yesterday I was on desk duty at my office in Georgetown, Texas. It was a very quiet Saturday (hot, muggy day, one of the first of the year, most folks just wanted to stay inside in air conditioning, I think). A good day to get paperwork caught up.
About mid-afternoon, I decided to step out the back door to our Coke machine and get some caffeine to keep myself perky.
Imagine my surprise when I saw this little fellow waiting for me.
This is a Gray Tree Frog (I now know, having looked him up as soon as I got to google images). He sat quietly, didn't seem perturbed by the camera flash, didn't seem perturbed by the clatter-clatter-rumble-THUMPITY-THUMP of the Dr Pepper making its journey through the innards of the Coke machine, din'dt seem perturbed by much of anything. There was much speculation as to how he'd gotten there, before we discovered his tree frog origins (sticky suction pad toesies good for climbing).
The mystery remains - WHY did he get there? "Because it's there"? Because he was thirsty and wanted a drink? It certainly wasn't to take advantage of the camouflage.
Whatever his reasons, I'm glad he did, it was a delightful diversion in a quiet day. And I've already informed the other agents, if he shows up again wanting to buy a house, this is MY walk-in!
wow he sure looks like a rock sitting there - nice shot -
