African Garden + wildlife in the garden

Gimme Shelter!

After this morning's storms, I was walking in the garden when I thought I noticed something under the Hostas. A closer inspection revealed this critter.

While toads are inhabitants of the garden, frogs are rare visitors. I had never seen such a large one in the garden. The frog sat there under the shelter of a Hosta leaf and appeared to be posing, waiting for me to take a photo. This must be the one the kids complain keeps them up at night. It doesn't bother me at all, and I hope it sticks around for a while and snags a few slugs for a snack, or at least a mosquito or two.
