"Peeping Peeper".....or....."Peeping Peeper" ?

It was a drizzly foggy night about a week ago now.   I went about the preparation to head of to bed of locking door,shutting of lights and the usual things one does!!   I noticed light shining out onto the back lawn through one of the basement windows, so headed for there.   As I opened the door to go down I thought "my goodness the Peepers and  Frogs are exceptionally loud tonight , they must be liking this weather"!!
As I got to the bottom of the stairs turned and there on the outside of the basement window was a plastered flat, suction cupped ..."Peeping  Peeper"!!!  Oh now this is why so loud!!
Up the stairs I go for the camera....ya I really did......night gown ,robe and socks  ...suddenly not tired at 11:30!    I'm' back in the basement clicking at the underside of a peeper!!

"Biology class comes to mind"!!

Out the basement door I go for a look at the top side of this creature!

Great!! he stayed there...top shot!!

I feel I have to explain the stuff on the window ...hair from brushing the cat I
had thrown out  for the bird to use for nest...wind and rain now it is 
stuck on the windows !!!

There was a bunch  of these little guys around ...this one was on the window sill!
  When I say little I mean little ...would you believe they are
only 1 inch (25cc) long!!

Here you can see its comparison to the sill!!
When I realized how many there where then I stepped very carefully...
as you can in partially darkness !!

As I took my first step to go inside I encountered this
Wood Frog..one of the party attendees I guess!!
Perhaps he was the" bouncer"..he is a bigger guy average 3 inches!!

    Grammie G, what came to my mind is "Jeepers Creepers where'd you get those Peepers?" Great shots of these little fellows and as you know we really do enjoy frogs ...of all types!

    Getting up in the middle of the night to take pictures of little peepers? Now I am impressed Grammie G. You're getting as bad as me - sitting out in the dark for hours to take pictures of owls. Dedication, it's the name of the game.

    Oh, you gals and your windows - don't worry about them. I'm sure the frog thought the spots were food.

    Fun Grammie! Love your peepers. No peepers by me, alas, so it is good to enjoy yours.

    Just catching up, Grammie. Love your peepers and the wood frog! I hear them every evening in the spring, often so loud that they drown out the woodcock on the neighboring wood lot, but have never managed to actually see one.
