Love this..I think of the times I've seen the day moon so clearly at dawn before the sun has completely taken over. A 'big gulp' sounds like the perfect way for the bullfrog to start its day. :-)
Great! It was canetoads for me, great critters, full of character, damned by adults loved by children. Could shake off almost anything.
The daymoon and critters of all kinds reminded me of this extraordinary optical illusion I saw while leaving a train station and looking up and out of the carriage window.
