As I just said....

It is enough to drive you up the wall...

I was coming back to the house from the longére and saw this little fellow on the step...

That spider had better watch out...
 ...a Tree Frog [Hyla arborea] Rainette verte. I find the tree frogs a fascinating set of creatures... and this fellow was no exception. I dived indoors to get the camera and captured these shots...

but no, he had other things on his mind!
...but the weather was obviously driving him up the wall too!!

There are more pictures of one here.

He certainly is bright out on the step. We will have to look out for them. All we seem to get in the garden is Toads. What is that in the pictures it looks like something the cat brought up!

You might love them less if you had grown up where they lived in your toilet and washing machine. They don't take well to the spin cycle, btw...

And... have any of you seen "Bellville Rendevous"? There is a marvelous bit in that where there is a frog that looks as though it has just come out of the wash...
