A word here about Gray treefrogs, as many of you have noticed, moist of the Gray Trteefrogs that you see on my images are green in color. That is because the majority of the ones I photograph are found in milkweed plants which are green in color. If ykou find a Gray Treefrog on a tree trunk it will probably be gray in color. They are chameleon-like hence they will take on the background color of the item on which they are sitting at the time. They are new true "chameleons" as they will not take on any colors but shades of grey and green and combinations there of. Also the markings are very variable, some having mottled patterns and others having indistinct or no patterns.

This newly morphed Gray Treefrog was very co-operative for photos, along with the four others nearby. Gray Treefrogs may sometimes be green!
I often hear Pacific Treefrogs, whose voices are large for their body size, but here I had an opportunity to actually see some and to get photos at Nisqually NWR.
Common Tree Frog (Polypedates leucomystax); body length approx. 4.5 cm / 1.8 inches. These local tree frogs seem to see our house as just another tree...
I found this squirrel treefrog under a log in a cypress swamp. Squirrel treefrogs are extremely variable but unlike pinewoods treefrogs they have no spotting on the thigh.

I just love these little guys - frogs are a good indicator of environmental health and it makes my heart happy to see them thrive in this urban environment
I was watering a potted geranium on our deck and happened to find two(!) grey treefrogs hiding under the leaves.

Sunpak 622 @1/8th power. The flash was 5 ft away, shot through the glass door.
I used an old zoom and a 50mm f1.2 reversed on the front for the macro.
