The Frog

 I was on my way to our storage rental the other Saturday and as I stopped to get in the gate I glanced at my passenger side mirror.  Hmm that was weird, some strange green thing was perched on my window edge. I thought it was a Magnolia blossom from our neighbor's tree.

 

 I leaned back to look in that side mirror when I saw a pair of eyes.  Little black eyes. Suddenly the green thing moved. Why, it was a tree frog!  He was hanging on for dear life on the edge of my car window.

 

Suddenly he jumped onto the mirror, his webbed feet sticky tightly to the glass.  I began to laugh and even more embarrassing I started to talk to him. He rode with me into the storage facility and as I stopped and parked I got out to take a  picture of him. 

He hung out until I was finished loading some items into my car. As I drove off I wondered if he would ride all the way back home which I figured is where he had gotten on.  But as I went down two blocks he must have seen something that interested him and off he went.  

I was worried about him, now he was in a strange neighborhood and could get squashed by another car. But there was no car behind me so he was safe that way.  While I missed my green companion I wondered if he had just gotten bored with the old neighborhood and wanted to explore town. What a way to meet new...um...tree frogs?

So I wished him good luck and drove back home, a little sadder for having lost a companion who thought the trees were greener on this side of town!
