Heading On Up
Posted: March 11, 2024 Filed under: Gardening | Tags: Cope's Grey Frog, My Kitchen Window, nature photography 14 CommentsThis Tree Frog is just so cute that I had to do another post about it. I caught it hanging on to a plant in my chiminea.
I believe it is a Cope’s Gray Frog although it could be a Gray Frog as they are both very similar. The Tree Frog can be found from Virginia to Eastern Texas and lives in woodlands.
I kept an eye on the Tree Frog and was able to photograph it making its way up the vine to the top of the pot.
The next time I went to look for it the little frog was hanging onto the brick wall.
The frog finally made it to the lower roof went on its way and disappeared.
As far as I know we don’t have climbing frogs in this part of the world, so fun to see him making his way upwards!
We also have anole lizards climbing up walls and everything else. The anole will jump from a high place and land on all fours on a hard surface and seem to be fine when they land.
Very active frog.
What a cutie. I also was struck by the amount of effort it must take these critters to do such extensive traveling. Of course, they’re built for it, but still…
And of course, given your title, I’ll be hearing the theme song of <i>The Jeffersons</i> — “Movin’ On Up” — for the rest of the day.
You got the song right! Apparently, scientists are studying frogs and other animals ability to use some kind of suction to climate up a wall.
I have tree frogs in the fireplace vent . They climbed and live there. Great pictures.
No fires for you. We built our house and during the first couple of years, I was always finding them inside.
We have never used the fireplace, it is rarely cold enough. I have not seen any inside, ours are similar but not spotted.
Your frog is adorable, look at that pattern on his back! tzgarden.blogspot.com
This one has a nice distinct pattern.
What a cutie! 😊
So cute🐸
Mr. Frog is so cute! Fun watching him climb up through the photos.
It is a cutie. Haven’t see him since.
