At high school, my favourite subjects were Japanese, science and art, not always in that order. Art was where I first started to really learn about photography; Japanese, well, I've more of less stuck with that; and science, I've always retained a fondness for things scientific, biology and chemistry being favourites and the universe an eternal curiosity.
I suppose you could say I haven't really moved on since high school...but I digress.
It was (and kind of remains) a great disappointment to me that starting out at uni, I had to choose between Japanese and science as teaching subjects (back when I planned to teach these subjects at high school); neither the Dept of Education nor the Dip. Eds of the day could cope with the mix.
I went with Japanese (obviously) although I never quite made it back to high school.
So today, when I spotted a couple of frogs near the bus stop, well, I wanted to take pics, for scientific purposes of course. You see, they were making their way down the pathway in the early morning sun while I waited for the bus.

| And onwards, in search of...water, probably |
I was therefore a bit taken aback by social media comments after I posted them (of course); I took them with entirely scientific curiosity at the fore. I was simply intrigued by two frogs making their way along the footpath.

I'm also pleased to report, that although they were approaching the pedestrian crossing to cross the busy intersection as I boarded the bus this morning, there was no evidence this evening to suggest they hadn't made it across. Clever things.
