This frog surprised me by jumping out of the muck while I was looking for dragonflies. I got a couple of shots before he disappeared.

He was so sweet to let me come within an inch from his beautiful golden eye with my fully extended antique manual-focus macro lens, hand (and breath) held at 1/50 sec. HBW!
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.
It has been a while since I've build anything animally, I saw a frog sculpture last weekend and I was inspired to build this. I might build a colour version one day.

*Para abrir o Novo Ano! :) Tenho pena não ter os "ovinhos", mas como há meses que já não via um anfÃbio como este, por isso foi bastante bom!
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.
Eurasian Marsh Frog / pelophylax ridibundus. 03/08/18.
'BEING GIVEN THE HEADS UP'.
Each time a frog swallows, it closes its eyes. In doing so, the eyes actually get depressed into their sockets and this aids movement of any food down the throat.
Although frogs are able to swallow food without the assistance of their eyeballs, that would involve an awful lot of swallowing!
So, by depressing one or both eyes simultaneously and using the tongue, food gets effectively pushed towards the stomach. This significantly reduces the amount of swallowing needed, how ingenious is that!
This was the first Marsh Frog I had ever seen and it lived up to all my expectations, and more. It was in the process of eating an insect caught moments before and had just depressed its left eye completely. I only managed to photograph it just as the eye was rising up out of its socket again.
Perhaps, with a stretch of the imagination, it looks as if it is winking?
N.B: This image is dedicated to Mark....
Thanks for the 'heads up'. Here's winking at you! ;-)
Another day, another frog in the garden.
A few days ago I posted a photograph of a frog which appeared when my son had was cutting the grass. Today I was picking up the wind-fall apples from under the tree where we deliberately keep the grass longer throughout the summer to attract insects. This little fella hopped out as I was collecting the fallen apples and posed quite happily for me, despite appearing as if he was about to jump away - he (she, it?!) looks like a coiled spring! Oh, and tiny too - about an inch long in total.
Single exposure, hand-held. Really basic editing in LR, Color Efex Pro and Viveza.
The Dainty Green Tree Frog is commonly found in vegetation emerging from the water in streams and swamps, often in temporary water. It is found in a range of habitats including rainforest, woodland and forest. It is commonly found near human developments, in gardens or farms.

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

A short stay in Leicester and we got lucky with the weather. Blue skies and beautiful reflections at Frog Island, which can't be bad in December... 4 posts
I really worked hard on making a creative title for this shot :)

Frogs - Garden Pond. Taken a while ago now but found on my other camera memory card. Shows the male presumably on top of the female who is laying the first clump of spawn in our pond. Unsure of the globules on the male or whether this is normal, does anyone know?
