How I Started Keeping Frogs
I enjoy the idea of having something to collect It is a great hobby and is different and unique just for me. Collecting involves seeking out or discovering the item, locating it, and acquiring it. Maybe part of loving it is because I love to shop. As much as I like shopping for something, another might find their joy in keeping track of what they already have. Displaying or storing the collection and maintaining the collection’s condition are also important parts of collecting to be considered when becoming a hobbyist. Each item you find will have a unique story attached to it or a particular interest unique to you. How a person deals with their collectibles is up to them, there is no right way to do it.
It is possible to build a collection that does not involve a lot of money or a person can spend a small fortune if they so desire. A lot of people livelihoods come are tied to the idea of building collections. Scientists are collectors, museums and libraries are collections. Collecting things can be so much more than a casual hobby for some people. A hobby needs to involve things that are fun for a person to associate themselves with. A good collection spurs a person to want to know more about whatever it is they have found. It is much easier to do something you like and this is the best excuse a collector should use when asked why they do it. I chose the world of amphibians for my collection. Collecting Frogs – a Fun Hobby for All Ages was something that I read that got me started on my journey and it has continued to be part of my life for many years and is now enjoyed by my whole family.
How did I get started? I put all of the blame on my mom. My parent relocated to a house that was close to the woods. There were not many other houses surrounding us. It was like living in the woods. The number one amphibian that I got was from my mom. Why did she do it? Because of where we lived, it was important for me to have one in my room. I still have that frog. My collection continued to expand as I found more things that I thought were appropriate. As important as it was to find more stuff, it was more important for me to retell how and why I got it to people. Each time I pick up one of my frogs it will stimulate a pleasant thought about its purchase or find or the person who gave it to me and that is the most fun about collectible frogs. My collection started as decorative items for my home. I still worry about displaying them in a way that is appropriate and not garish. It is important for me to not have people think I am crazy because there are frogs just about anywhere they look in my home.
Frog collections are perfect decorations for both your home and your yard, and I can truly say I have an army of frogs and that I am proud to have www.myfrogcollection.com bookmarked as one of my favorite sites to visit on the internet. I not only collect amphibians, I spend time learning about them. I have more interest in them due to what started as collecting decorative pieces. Not only do I share the pieces I have on display, I also share the knowledge that I have garnered. I am proud to be a great source of knowledge for my friends. Not everyone understands my fascination with frogs and they may wonder what I see in them, but I’m okay with that. I can always turn to my frogs for support instead.
