It is a pacific green tree frog. They come in green, tan and like this one, which is a bit more rare. Usually just green.

This fellow (Bufosorta ceramicus) used to reside in my yard, out by the pond.
Until I was moving a big rock and accidentally dropped it on him and broke him  |

neat pictures !
On my rides up north
87 Beeline
there was a huge rock that looked like a frog
I'd always point it out to the kiddies
Frog Rock I called it
unfortunately I don't have a picture
and I believe road construction/bridge work
as well... maybe its no longer exist
or the curve of the road
doesn't show its profile
any more...

Ed, are you talking this frog?
Excuse the crummy photo, a 70 mph shot (when someone won't stop so you can get a good pic!).
This is along Hwy 89 in AZ on the hill between Congress and Yarnell. Photo taken 11 years ago, no idea if I is still there or not. |

Woodman, that is a super nice PTF!! snowmom, in every single Hollywood production ever that has the sounds of frogs at night, this is the frog. The Japanese call them Hollywood frogs. |

Until I was moving a big rock and accidentally dropped it on him and broke him Jean, when I first saw your frog, I thought how huge he was. Curious, I read the name  That explained the "broke him", instead of killing him. We've had frogs?/toads? in our yard, but very few. |

(Or maybe the only one that cares?) WHATever, makes no nevermind to me, lol.
Pat, he was ("was" being the operative word here) pretty big, about as big across as a basketball.
Always putting special things in the yard, like this guy 
Sometimes even gives me pause. And in the front yard 
Funny, if I'm out walking and someone asks me where I live, I tell them where the rocks and cactus are. Invariably, they will say, Oh, where the aliens are! Ha!

Jean, love your aliens; the snake --- not so much!
We are the house with the rosy door. Didn't have an alien!
