Rana o sapo
Sunday, 23 January 2011
Tucked away on a rock, I found this bronze sculpture over in the ABG. A cloud-layer made the sky dull, so my eyes looked down more than up, or I think I would have walked right by. I’m still not clear if it’s a frog or a toad*.
Some Southerners dodge this problem by calling this type of amphibian a toad-frog. There’s some wisdom to not fussing about taxonomic fine points.
More than anything, I think it resembles a dinosaur!
* Another Spanish lesson: rana o sapo = a frog or a toad.
