A last summer's drop

A last summer's drop "I love summer! Summer is hot. It's sun and shade. It's water to wade. It's frogs and bugs. It's grass for rugs. It's eating outside. It's a tree-swing ride. It's tomatoes and corn. It's dew in the morn." It's the last ode to summer.. This year! Common frog,Geotagged,Rana temporaria,The Netherlands

"I love summer! Summer is hot.
It's sun and shade.
It's water to wade.
It's frogs and bugs.
It's grass for rugs.
It's eating outside.
It's a tree-swing ride.
It's tomatoes and corn.
It's dew in the morn."

It's the last ode to summer.. This year!

    (part of a poem by Mary Ann Hoberman)

    I was reading in the garden one early evening, at my grandparents house. I had a wide glass can of water on my table, and suddenly a lot of noise and a sudden visitor.
    Yes, I do know I made it a bit more colourful than the frog intended to be.I spiced up the red, the green just a little bit.
    A summer feeling, so long ago. Gray weather outside, drizzling, just wait a while, sleep well "frogs and bugs".
