Just a frog in the fall.... He was hopping his way across my little bridge but had to stop and take a rest. :)
Location: Sabah
This taxon was formerly known as Rhacophorus everetti. It has recently been revised (Hertwig et al. 2011). Genetic evidence showed unequivocally that it belongs to Philautus.

Habitat: It is a highland species. It lives in wet montane forests, 1,000 m to 1,800 m asl. Maximum size is up to 32 mm in males and almost 50 mm in females.
The coloration and skin tubercles mimic lichen and mossy bark. During the day this frog is perfectly camouflaged. At night males can be seen in groups at small streams and seepages. They usually sit 1–3 m above ground on twigs and leaves. The species occurs on the mountains of western Sabah and northern Sarawak.
A Cuban Tree Frog sleeps in a philodendron during the day. Cuban Tree Frogs are an invasive species in Florida and prey upon native frogs. I've read that you are supposed to capture them and place them in the freezer for a few hours to cause them a humane death. I don't have the heart to do that. Should I? They have replaced all the native, beautiful green treefrogs, but they are abundant in my neighborhood and I don't think I could make much of a dent in their population.
This Eastern Dwarf Tree Frog (Litoria fallax) is tiny as you can tell by the lichen on the rock. Fiona's Farm, Beachmont, Qld, 2004.

Or not! Jeez guys, can you not just co-ordinate for the camera? Yay, it's frog time! I love listening to their chorus.

This frog was in the wilderness corner of the back yard one day as I was looking for something (likely a wildflower) to photograph. He seemed not to mind the lens thrust so close and stayed there until I had taken several pictures and likely stayed after I had moved on.
Been busy with other things lately and not much time to play on flicker. Hopefully after the autumn chores are done I can get some to scan some old pictures and upload some we've taken over the past while.
Thank you so much for your comments, favourites and views, always appreciated! twitter.com/ChrisTPhotos
This little frog was hiding under the leaves, difficult to spot. But he didn't jumped away, probably due to the temperature. I covered him up again with the leaves after I had taken some photos.
Eurasian Marsh Frog / pelophylax ridibundus. 03/08/18.
'OUTWITTED BY A FROG'.
Laying motionless and resting on a bed of aquatic vegetation, this Marsh Frog was in full hunting mode. Its ability to leap high into the air to snatch flying insects and dragonflies was awesome to watch.
There was never any clue about when it would jump. One second complete inertia, the next, most of its body extended up out of the water and long, powerful, dangling legs visible. Finally, a loud 'plop' as it fell back in. I spent ages laying full stretch on a muddy bank trying to capture a jump, my finger on the shutter release button.
Sadly, my efforts went unrewarded, the frog outwitted me every time!
BEST VIEWED LARGE.
Hoping everyone's had a good year so far. Mine's just been too busy for dong much in the way of Photography or Flickring. Still, hoping to get going again now Autumn is approaching and life has just about settled down again. So here's one of our Garden Residents to kick things off :-) (Tamron 90mm f/2.8 Macro btw, not "NO LENS"!)
