March 20, was World Frog Day. Today I join in the worldwide tribute to these amazing amphibians. World Frog Day was first established in 1995 as a way to raise awareness about frogs and other amphibians. Not only are frogs fascinating creatures, but they also play an important role in our environment. Five fun facts about frogs 1. A group of frogs is called an army. 2. Frogs drink water through their skin. 3. Frogs are found all over the world. 4..The world’s largest frog species is known as the ‘Goliath Frog.’ 5. A frog’s eyes and nose are on the very top of their heads. Gribbit!

Summer is a time for reruns. Accordingly I share last year’s July 4th post. This was a fun montage to create. I didn’t realize how many animals could be included in this red, white and blue themed photo montage. Wishing you a safe, happy holiday and keep those pets inside as most are afraid of the noisy fireworks.

Today is St. Patrick’s Day. It is customary to wear green clothing, shamrocks or an accessory; which is called the “wearing of the green“. Many animals sport green everyday. Erin go Bragh!
