A Frog Tale

A dime sized frog showed up on a window sill of the cabin we were staying at over the weekend to attend a wedding. A couple of the bridesmaids were with us. These are not squeamish gals. We all crowded into the small bathroom, to admire this tiny being. I carried it out to join its brethren, then we went back to getting prettied up for the next day. There was talk of hair products and makeup as usual for such events. In the morning when I left my Italian conditioner in the shower I called out:
“The Giovanni is in the shower!”
one of the lovely bridesmaids called back:
“Oh! Is that the name of the frog?”

Sometimes the Princess names the frog instead of kisses it, a much better outcome for a modern Fairy Tail don’t you think?

This all started out as post for Weekly photo challenge/contrasts/. Well here we have dark against light, soft against hard, and old against new story. Oh you might enjoy a few images of the girls.

The Bride and Her Dog Pip Lots of contrast here too.

Which photo has the most contest too you?

The photo’s are inspired by Lens and Pens and the writing was under the influence of  Margo Rody‘s Tuesday Tryout

  1. I don’t know about contrast, but I love the little frog photo – and the photo of Jessie and Mia waiting in the wind in the wings. Did Pip take part in the ceremony? I attended a wedding where the bride’s poodle was the ring bearer!

    1. Pip was a ring bearer! He spoke up at all the right places.
      Of course I love the little frog but my girl in the wind best.

    1. Marilyn, I usually do single subject post, but I used your technique as a model for this one to share more than one thing.
      I love that pic of my daughter and her big smile! 😀

  4. The last image has such a natural ambience about it. The young women are casual and happy in their roles. The setting makes for a marvelous backdrop. I like the post-processing that adds even more to the natural elements. Happy Photo Challenge.
