Rain and puddles bring out other Amphibia, even in the desert. It’s a strange, stirring, but not uncommon thing to come on a pool at night, after an evening of thunder and lightning and a bit of rainfall, and see the frogs clenching to the edge of their impermanent pond, bodies immersed in water but heads out, all croaking away in tricky counterpoint.
