I hope everybody is well. I'll will try to make my way around and check out what you have been posting.
Take care and stay safe!
The green tree frogs have been plenty around here this year. This guy was sitting on our front-door ;-)

A frog rests next to a running river.
Bit about me, I'm a 15 year old photographer, I love photographing wildlife, landscapes, pets, urban scenes, and other things that really interest me!
This pretty frog has smooth, bright skin, generally green, although there are also specimens that are brown or yellowish. A characteristic trait is the black line running from the edges of the eyes, with horizontal pupils, to the back of the eardrum. It also has suckers on the toes of its front and rear legs.
Its cryptic colouring, blending with the vegetation where it lives, is a strategy to foil predators.
Its area of distribution ranges from North Africa to southwest Europe. On the Iberian Peninsula, populations are concentrated in specific points of Andalusia, Catalonia, the Basque Country and Minorca. This species is quite generalist, living in all types of temporary and permanent bodies of water and a large variety of environments.
They primarily feed on insects as adults, while the tadpoles scratch the surfaces of aquatic plants or walls to absorb detritus, algae, etc.
To attract females during the reproductive period, the males emit their croaking songs en masse. The female lays 140 to 680 eggs in small clusters of 3 or 4, which stick to plants under the water. The tadpoles hatch after 8 to 15 days, completing metamorphosis 2 or 3 months later.

A Pacific Tree Frog sitting on a Geranium flower waiting patiently in hopes for an insect to pass by close enough to catch for a meal.
Also known as the Pacific Chorus Frog, this small amphibian has a range spanning the Pacific Northwest, from Northern California, Oregon, and Washington to British Columbia in Canada and southern Alaska. They live from sea level to more than 10,000 feet in may types of habitats, reproducing in aquatic settings. They occur in shades of greens to browns and can change colors over periods of hours and weeks.

The pool frog (Pelophylax lessonae) is a European frog. The reasons for declining populations are decreased pond habitat from human encroachment and also air pollution leading to over-nitrification of pond waters.
Marsh frogs (Pelophylax ridibundus) are Europe's largest native frog species. They occur in a large part of Europe starting from western France and spreading out into the Middle East and about a quarter into Russia.
Happy Frog Friday!! One of my favorite things in Costa Rica was photographing the little tree frogs with my macro lens. How many of you enjoy macro photography? It's intriguing to explore the "miniature" world. I especially love how you can use the shallow depth of field for artistic intent.
Many thanks to all those who View, Comment and or Favorite My Photos. It is greatly appreciated. Scott :)
Went out looking for early Colt's Foot to photograph yesterday and also found this little fellow. It has been many moons since I managed to get a shot of one of these. They are congregating in little vernal ponds to mate and I hear them all the time. But getting close enough for a shot can be a tricky maneuver.

--Taken shortly before the previous image of this guy, but I edited the capture date so it appears above it in the photo stream purely so it makes a checked pattern. Unfortunately that doesn't show up on either the app or mobile website, so you'll just have to imagine it.
The Bull frogs were busy making lots of noise as they searched for partners, there was quite the din in the pond as at least 20 of these guys strove to make the loudest call

This little frog has taken up home in my ornamental pond, probably because the drought has dried up his natural habitat. He likes to sit next to the LED lights and catch insects attracted in the late evening.
Thanks for the visit, comments, awards, invitations and favorites.

Having fun photographing the frogs at the RBG pond! The water around the lilypads was so interesting.
Another frog image from a couple of days ago.
Taken during a macro shoot with long time friend and fellow flickr tog Joe Micallef at Hunter Botanic Gardens (Heatherbrae, NSW; Australia).
This little fella was kind enough to pose in a spot that allowed us to get close and personal with him!
Hope you like this!!
