While we were visiting the Castillo de San Marcos in St. Augustine, we noticed a porpoise swimming out in the little bay area next to the castle. This was the best shot I was able to get at the time. However, it was still a treat to watch it swim and come to the surface and then go under the water again.

While the kids were swimming at the beach, my oldest daughter came across a frog swimming and hopping at the edge of the water. Of course she picked it up and then named it “George”. They built a sand castle for it and the frog actually stayed there for a bit. We were quite surprised. Then “George” decided it was time to move on and headed back to the edge of the water. My kids were thrilled to have found a frog at the beach.

I am not for sure what kind of frog this is. I have looked and there doesn’t seem to be any info about a salt water frog living in this area, but that doesn’t mean that one can’t adapt to it. So I am thinking this frog probably can handle both salt and fresh water. Does anyone else know?

He sure is a cute looking little frog! The kids wanted to bring him home, but we said no. The frog needed to live in its natural habitat. They were sad, but understood.

We enjoyed visiting the beach and look forward to when we can spend more time there.
