Picture 2BOLTON, UK–the town that once brought its citizens a festive underwater Christmas dinner–is now planning The Great North Frog March for May of 2010. The charity march will require teams of five  to walk around the town’s track five times with flippers on, backwards. Money raised from the event will go to Bolton Lads and Girls Club, the Royal National Lifeboat Institute and a cancer charity. Sounds like a hopping good time! See you there?

IT LOOKS LIKE OUR frogboys aren’t the only bulls with big appetites. The guys out back are subdued during these depths of this winter, but this video is a good reminder of what’s to come this summer. Hold tight!

Recently seen ascending toward Buddha-hood in the backyard was this ambitious bheka (Sanskrit for frog), perhaps whispering to him to send a little more rain. If only things were always this peaceful.
