Afternoon Everyone,
Welcome to the weekly #writephoto prompt!
Characteristic Croaking
The sound of the frog
As it sits on the edge
of this leafy bog
Can you tell the story of these two little fellows?
For visually challenged writers, the image shows a two frogs (or toads, I’m never certain of the difference) in amongst some water and leaves.
The regulars already know this bit, but for those that don’t:
- Each Thursday at Noon GMT I will post the #writephoto prompt
- Use the image and prompt as inspiration to create a post on your own blog… poetry, prose, humour… light or dark, whatever you choose, as long as it is fairly family-friendly.
- Please have your entries linked back to the original prompt post by the following Tuesday at Noon GMT.
- Link back to this post with a pingback (Hugh has an excellent tutorial here) and/or leave a link in the comments below, to be included in the round-up.
- Please click their links to visit the blogs of other contributors and take time to read and comment on their work.
- Use the #writephoto hashtag in your title so your posts can be found.
- There is no word limit and no style requirements, except that your post must take inspiration from the image and/or the prompt word given in the title of this post.
- Feel free to use #writephoto logo or include the prompt photo in your post if you wish, or you may replace it with one of your own to illustrate your work.
- By participating in the #writephoto challenge, please be aware that your post may be featured as a reblog on this blog and I will link to your post for the round-up each week.
If you need some more inspiration or fancy a bit of light reading, check out last weeks round-up.
I can’t wait to read your creations.
Take Care.

this one’s from my archive, KL 🙂
In the centre (left) is a lovely frog. Quite sleek, and nicely patterned. On the right is a toad, looking grumpy. He may be cold as he’s very dark. Their mouths generally have a more rounded shape cf the frog’s more pointy shaped jaw.
Toads generally look as if they have warts.

Jemima, that’s all so very interesting I had no idea how to tell them apart , I just thought one was larger! …. I wonder which one is Morgarna!? 💜💜
Depends whether Morgana prefers the sleek look or something darker 😉
She loves dark colours, black, purple , red but she also likes sleek.. not easy to pin that girl down!
Here’s my offering

From what I can remember of toads on the marina (one was trying to get into the ladies shower/toilet block), they ‘walk’, whereas frogs hop. Neither bother me by the way and I was able to remove said toad before he got an eyeful of someone who was likely to scream the place down.
That’s true on the whole. But frogs also walk if they are negotiating something – like my foot! I got used to them climbing over me when I sat in the garden in the shady grass! Very cooling 🙂
I had to be careful cutting the grass for the first time as there were tiny frogs everywhere looking for ponds that were no longer there. It was quite eerie at night because one of the lanes behind us was frog haven and the road was covered with hundreds of them.
It’s all getting messy🤣🤣
Hi KL, Here’s my take on those little guys.
Thanks again.
A little late, but it’ll be live in about five minutes…
