Look Mummy, I can balance a froggy!

Very good, but you're supposed to be getting clean, sweetheart.

I wasn't sure how this photo would work. While tramping along a pond I saw this frog between the leaves of several plants. Somehow it seems to have worked.

Lots of these in the shallow water around the reed beds at Low Barns at present.

Osteopilius septentrionalis, the Cuban Tree Frog, is native to the Caribbean Islands and is now a common exotic invader in North, Central, and South Florida. It is very cold sensitive, which should limit its spread north of Florida. It is able to survive in North Florida by living close to buildings in cities and suburbs, or living next to spring runs where the water stays at a constant 70 degrees F year around.

It is the largest tree frog in North America, and will eat the smaller, native species of tree frogs.

We think too small, like the frog at the bottom of the well. He thinks the sky is only as big as the top of the well. If he surfaced, he would have an entirely different view.

Lithobates palustris in Raymond, New Hampshire.

This frog found the one place at Nisqually NWR that herons don't hang out.

On a boring afternoon my daughter showed me how to catch a frog (to be instantly released again, unharmed) by wiggling a dried flower stem in a tempting way. When they pounce, you reel them in close enough to gently pick them up.

Copper-cheeked frog (Hydrophylax chalconotus)

Hydrophylax chalconotus is a species of frog in the Ranidae family. It is endemic to Indonesia. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, rivers, intermittent rivers, freshwater marshes, intermittent freshwater marches, plantations, rural gardens, irrigated land, and seasonally flooded agricultural land. Formerly known as Rana chalconota, that taxon was applied to what is today named Hydrophylax raniceps. In the 1990s, it became generally agreed that Hydrophylax raniceps applied to specimens in northern and western Sumatra, Peninsula Malaysia and Borneo. Hydrophylax chalconota's range is limited to Southern Sumatra, Java and Bali (From Wikipedia article Hydrophylax_chalconotus)

Rawlinsonia verreauxii. Maddens Plains, New South Wales.

Breeding season. These (and the toads) are all over the paths, pavements, roads. I sneezed and one flew out my nose :-)

Spotted this little friend paddling on the Drawa River.

This is my best side.

I really worked hard on making a creative title for this shot :)

Rhacophorus nigropalmatus

But not for being typical is less spectacular !!!!!! Amazing to discover one at night in the forest and take a photo of it.

instead of using the flash, we used a led light in order not to stress the frog with the flash ligh

This Euphlyctis hexadactylus, also known as the green pond frog, Indian green frog, and Indian five-fingered frog was seen floating in water's surface, partially resting on the lily leaf.
