A cool Frog that I saw at North point State Park in Maryland. These guys were really loud.

This smiley frog was on the "Rails to Trails' gravel trail in Baldwin, MI. I love frogs 🐸

Thanks for views, comments and favs :)

Green and beautiful, this frog took no notice as its photo was taken from multiple angles. When talent scouts come cruising, the least one can do is pose and give your best Mona Lisa smile, fame is incidental to a frog so friendly and fabulous.

This little one is always near the top part of the rain barrel when the lid is taken off.

Still no new photos, so it's an orchid shot from the archives again... this is a so-called frog orchid (coeloglossum viride). I didn't spot the spider or its web at the time, I only noticed it afterward on the computer screen. But I like that detail :-)

Have a wonderful weekend everybody!

I was waiting for a kingfisher when a frog came to distract me.

Je guettais un martin pêcheur quand une grenouille est venue me distraire.

After not finding the orb weaver spiders out when I went back to the park I finally went to the second pond size lake covered in duckweed. Dozens of very tiny new frogs all along the shore. Most took off but did get a few. Sorry for so many frog photos, no more for awhile, I promise. :) All different ones. Had many not in focus. These are extremely tiny, only 2-3" in length at most. Took another very quick walk at the park before more severe weather forecast tonite.

This frog was stuck to my kitchen window

A couple more from the frogs. They've all cleared off from the pond now, but lots of frogspawn which is good to see...

I can't believe how long it has been that I have been around but it has been a very crazy last few month and I'm sure a lot of you out there will agree with me!!!

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 ;-)

If you've viewed my previous image "Hmmm how about manual focus?" you'd have read how I had been taking images of a frog..... this is it!!

Hope you like this!

Be sure to View LARGE on Black for best results!

Have an awesome day and weekend everyone!!

Thanks too for any comments, views or favorites!

A grey tree frog (Hyla versicolor). When young, this frog is a mottled green color. At some point, it changes from green to grey as it becomes an adult frog. This guy was one of the smaller frogs we've seen, but was already all grey. They can also vary their color depending on what their sitting on from light to dark.

This guy was found in our clumped up old grill cover. I leave it on the edge of the deck at night, and overnight, the frogs sometime climb in for shelter. In the morning, we check to see if any visitors have shown up!

Please email for usage info.

It has been a while since I photographed frogs and had forgotten how wet you can get. With 6°C, and just a thin fleece, I got pretty cold within no time and had to stop my frog pursuit... I will return. In this particular pond in the middle of an old forest I just saw these Common Frogs (Rana temporaria) (and pretty happy with that), but hope to find a few Moor Frogs soon as well.

Frogs!...quite a few 'guilty pleasures'' going on here! My obsession with Mother Nature and all her wonders....means the ironing gets left, oops! A friend has an obsession with the colour green and anything frog related...plus her husbands obsession is with technology. He used his 3D printer to print these colourful little frogs! But hey, you only live once so why feel guilty! :))

What Are Little Boys Made of?

Frogs and snails,

And puppy-dogs' tails;

That's what little boys are made of.

What are little girls made of?

Sugar and spice,

And all that's nice;

That's what little girls are made of.

Best guess is that this is a Greater Leaf-Folding Frog, aka Spiny Reed Frog (Afrixalus fornasinii).

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.

I was slowly creeping up to the little frog on the left taking pictures as I crept, when the one on the right jumped into the scene. Gotta love when that happens....
