Description
This little fella was on the doorstep last night. Now once upon a time, as janeeden will verify, there is no way I would have taken this pic. I used to have a major phobia with frogs & toads. If I saw one I hyperventilated, would cross the other side of the road to avoid even the smallest baby. I hated walking the girls on the park & wouldn't go near the water. If I did see one on the park I would not go down that way again. The phobia was so bad that Carla 'B' got stuck in the beck once & my friend had to get her out as all I could think about were the frogs that might be nearby :o( Life was miserable from March when they appeared until they dissappeared in October/November. If there was one in the garden it had to be removed or else I wouldn't set foot outside. One day my son had to come home from work to get one out of the garden as he went outside I locked the back door, he asked my why & I said I didn't want the frog to come in :o) Then one day I started seeing a hypnotist & he cured me of my phobia, that was one of the best things I have ever done. I couldn't touch one but I don't freak out if I see one. So here is the little critter, I still think they are ugly though :o)
Thanks for all the lovely comments, so appreciated. xxxx

Haha!!! Well done!
Good for you for getting over your phobia..when I saw the title I was afraid you were upset because I called the boys and girls happy critters!!
I'm glad you are over your frog-a-phobia. ;) I won't feel bad posting some pictures I have, but you may get your phobia back from the one I'm planing on posting in a few days. Great shot!
Wonderful Shot
Cool pic Barbara, and maybe the frog heard you provide homes for those animals in need ;)
CRITTERS ????? WOWWW, EXCELLENT CAPTURE MY DEAR FRIEND !
Great shot of this frog Barbara, my eldest daughter had a number of pet frogs inside in an aquarium and we got excellent at catching flies for them lol..
APPLAUSE!! I'm like that with spiders, moths, daddylonglegs.......the list is endless! If I accidentally touch a spider web I go into an arachnaleptic fit!!

Great shot and narrative. How awful that must have been! I'm glad you are over it!
bravo!il fallait avoir le courage!
Nothing worse then having a phobia, and especially for something that is so difficult to avoid! So you are no longer a toad-a-phobe, or frog-phobic! That is most excellent, and you even got us a photo! Three cheers for you, something to be ever so proud of! I felt that way about spiders. Not so much now, I tend to just capture them in something and toss them outside where they belong.
