atlas joins the frog chorus
while on a hike, i stood on a dock for a while to admire this view, bird song and frog song all around me. the frogs croaked in turn, so it was fun to follow their song around the water.
in the midst of this chorus was a croak that was so loud, i thought the frog must be under my feet, or at least right next to me. while i looked for the owner of the croak, i recorded the frog chorus on my phone.
i tried to get a clean sound, but atlas kept inserting himself into the mix in his own peculiar way – apparently he was very very thirsty. in the end, the recording made me giggle, so i thought you might enjoy it too.
(in case you’re wondering, i did find the elusive frog. he was spring green in color and hiding under some grasses to my left & behind me. i was amazed to discover that he was the size of my palm – i have a child-sized hand – so clearly he was an expert at projecting his voice.)
Atlas may not like to pose for pictures, but he is a budding audio star. He is more radio that TV.
Atlas agrees! No more photos, just audio. As long as he doesn’t have to bark, because he almost never does.
well i just LOVED THAT !!!!
LOLOL.
because of atlas.
the frog was secondary.
but a funny sound. and sweet.
but atlas? . . .
priceless!

The frogs are better in a different audio, but in that one, Atlas inserted himself by coming onto the dock so you could hear the click-click-click of his toes on the wood. He is so silly, there is just not a moment when he is standing still, doing nothing, when he is outside.
