I have a terrible fear of them made worse when one jumped into my boat with me when I was cleaning the large pond out. I knew it was there just waiting to latch onto my face but I couldn't see it. I dropped the oar in my panic and literally stood in the boat screaming my head off in the middle of the pond. I dread to think what Mr TG thought when he saw me! I finally managed to throw the rope far enough for him to pull me back in but as I was getting out I felt something touch my leg - did I freak or what! I screamed, running to the house yanking my clothes off. Turned out it was pond weed that touched me but I didn't know that lol.<br />Like I said you're very brave Sue. Just the sound of the frogs today had me freaking out - maybe I should attempt to photograph them to get over my fear? Mind you just the thought of that is making my heart race lol.Lindachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17307042289297886569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-57436498901900205082014-03-13T16:53:23.253+00:002014-03-13T16:53:23.253+00:00Lovely photos..
