Hey -- this is fun!
I'll take my recent revision from shogun
running along the cliff edge -- my alarm clock rings
and it becomes
running along the cliff edge -- distant thunder
a completely different perpective -- I like it!
also
running away from big waves -- my alarm clock rings
becomes
running away from big waves -- distant thunder

Hi Kathy and Lary.
Yes, I see what you mean - the 'hopscotch' is the idea that comes to mind because they leaped off them when startled.
Well, when I saw it, we were in a canoe gliding along the water. The frogs were hanging on the lily pads and then leaped off them as we got closer. So, I'll assume they were startled by our approach.
Summer heat is not exactly it as it was our approach that caused their reaction, so more like 'summer intrusion', LOL! I'll need to think on this further, perhaps mention canoe or the paddles in the water but that wouldn't seem like the right fragment to me?
I'll be back (CRAZY busy at work).... Lori

Snow, sorry I didn't stop to comment earlier... I love the way you grasp the idea... and also that you're having fun!
Cleo, I like the idea of adding a canoe to the scene... a moment well worth working on!
