Once again, I try and get some gardening done and end up getting distracted! This little fellow was being very brave and just staring me out - until the Raynox lens fell off the front of the camera and landed on him! Ooops!
All my frogs are here:-

Sorry, no bugs today, just this little guy. When I saw him jump out of the corner of my eye I thought he was just another grasshopper. Guess I was wrong.
Tree frogs are usually tiny, as their weight has to be carried by the branches and twigs in their habitat. While some reach 10 cm (4 in) or more, they are typically smaller and more slender than terrestrial frogs. Typical for "tree frogs" are the well-developed discs at the finger and toe tips; the fingers and toes themselves as well as the limbs tend to be rather long, resulting in a superior grasping ability.

Went on my very own 'Frog Safari' at Hedon's Horsewell Pond today! Inspired by the latest Amateur Photographer magazine.

... is a warm sunny pool of water.
Lots of frogs at the lake this year... a good sign for the local environment, so I am told. This female frog was beside the dock every day for the past few days. She let me come right up close and wasn't about to move for anything.
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.
Promise this has not been morphed - this is the expression these frogs wore on the day. There has to be a caption I think but I haven't the wit to see it.
I am very happy that a frog has returned to our pond again this summer. Now the newts will have someone new to talk to ;)

Thanks to Daniel P Austin and Mark Scherz for the ID.
As dusk falls, the chorus calls. Short staccato bursts that fall silent with your approach. However, walking in-step with the pattering rain to mask my footsteps, I fell upon this beautiful frog calling. It retreated within its rolled leaf but not before leaving an indelible mark on my memory. Found during a night hike in Andasibe national park, Madagascar.
There's a new blog over on my website, with a bit of a spring update. www.flyladyphotographybywendycooper.co.uk/article/a-lot-m...
Please do pop over for a read and feel free to share!
After putting in a pond years ago, this year is the first one where there is frog activity with up to 15 individuals that i've counted (probably more). Remote flashes and macro lens to get close, they are very obliging at night!
