Spring is Here - Frogs Making Frogs
Bob H's great hummingbird photos got me inspired. This is a little more explicit. I took it yesterday:

The SAME boiling water that softens the potato hardens the egg. It's about what you are made of NOT the circumstance.

This is called "'Amplexus". It's where the male frog wraps his front legs around the female and squeezes forcing the eggs out at the same time he
releases his sperm. Some frogs have enlarged thumbs when they do this, kind of like a hard on but only in the thumbs. At least that is whay my college
biology teacher taught us. After we learned that we printed up t-shirts with "Club Amplexus" for our pocket logo. Wish I still had one of those
shirts.

Perspective is everything. That may be the female on top -- reminds me of Cindy, a girl in Amarillo I spent a whole summer with one week.

Just got back from Coe State Park and what a difference from a week ago. The grass is a fresh green and the lupines and poppies are covering the
hillsides.
P.S. My kids walked up to within 20 feet of a male wild turkey with displaying his feathers.
