Teeny Tiny Toad

This was not meant to be a series, but as it turns out I posted a house wren which is a very small bird, then a tiny grasshopper, and now a teeny tiny frog. I am amazed that I was able to spot it. I noticed something land out of the corner of my eye. It took me a while to figure out that it was a frog. Only about 1/2 inch long as seen here from head to tail. I have seen small frogs before, but nothing like this.

 

I really wish I would have bumped up the ISO and the aperture, as I do not believe its eye is in focus. But all things considered I am thrilled to have got what I did. This was taken using a tripod. I was going to get a shot of a fungi when I cvame across this wee amphibian. I will be posting the Fungi tomorrow.

 

EDIT: I should add that this is a heavy crop to actual pixels without any resizing up or down.

EDIT 2: thanks to James R. Page for mentioning that this is a type of toad rather than a frog.
