This is my favorite picture ever! I was looking at caterpillar on a tree and I spotted a tiny hole. I had an urge to look inside but it was too high for me. I took my camera and raised it up and shot pictures down into the hole and was delighted and awestruck by what was revealed! This amazing and adorable little tree frog!

Welcome to my Flickr 365 Project! I’m calling it my 365 Species Project, because for each day of the year, I will post a photo of a different species of organism. I hope everyone is having a good weekend so far. We’re six days into the new year, and I’m still going strong on the resolutions! I hope you’re all enjoying the photos.
