The rainy season has commenced. in rainy season, the frogs and toads of Copan and the surrounding area come out to play. Because EVERYTHING is wet after it rains, they can go virtually anywhere and be safe. Unfortunately, though, they have a tendency to get themselves into places when it's wet, the places dry, and then they have no way of getting back to water.

Last night, we got back to the office after 8 from a youth event. It had rained cats and dogs earlier. I walked into the front room to turn on the lights for a friend. I switched the light on and turned around, greeted by this little frog staring at me from on top of Rachel's travel mug. He was so still that I couldn't figure out if he was plastic and a practical joke. BUT, a friend decided to try to TOUCH him and wound up jumping off the cup and onto the wall. He wound up on the screen of another friend's camera... which is how this picture came to be.

All in all... it was interesting and something I had never seen before! OH... and we got him back outside to safety. Fear not.
