When i was a young kid, maybe 5 or so, there was a creek about a block from our house, and i always used to go to it and look at the frogs, tadpoles, and dragon flies. Frogs would even make their way to my backyard and jump around. BUT a few years ago, they built a dam up river for some houses, in which im REALLY mad about. So now i dont get any more frogs and i am sad ...

Sorry i dont know your frog id. :(

Tom,
It looks like a tree frog, often called "spring peepers". We get them here all of the time, even in the house.... They can change color too.

Ah, yes! A spring peeper! I have heard them in the spring (they get really loud around here...) but had never seen one. Now, I have.

Thanks!

Upon further review, and having looked at some peeper pics, I am thinking I had a grey tree frog here...see link..

Here is a link that might be useful: grey tree frog?

Yep, a grey tree frog, not a peeper..
They are the cutest little frogs!

He's cuuuuuuuuute! Don't see too many frog in the City of San Jose. :)

Tom,
I think your right.

I've found frogs like that in between my pots before. I think they like the cool, damp conditions provided by porous clay pots. Here's a smaller tree frog I found bathing inside a Dracaena I used to have.

They are both very cute. The tree frogs have taken a liking to the broms here.
