Picture of the Day for February 15, 2022

It was five years ago when I had an unexpected visitor show up in my house. A tree frog had hitched a ride in one of my flower pots that I brought in the house in late fall but I didn’t notice my new roommate until months later.

And since it was still winter outside and he would be unable to burrow in for the winter, he remained in my house for several months until springtime. He seemed rather comfortable in his new home (even if in a tub and not my whole house). But he had swimming pool and a mossy green nest plus a lot of flies that I captured and turned loose in his covered tub for ready snacks.

Even when I turned him loose in the spring, he returned to his home that I left on the porch for several days before he wandered back into his normal environment, probably since I stopped catching flies for him.
