Green Tree Frog
Yesterday was a cool and cloudy day with the promise of rain, so I took advantage of the weather to work in the woods. I was down in the creek bed, pulling some vines that choke the trees. I reached for a handful of honeyvine and a Green Treefrog jumped right onto my face! I had not even seen it in front of me. I don’t see them often, but when I do, it’s usually because they have jumped right onto me and stuck.
I grabbed him and held on until I could get my camera, then set him back on the ground for a few shots.
I like this shot from ground level, showing what fallen pine needles look like when you’re a 2-inch long frog.

A nice bit of color on a gray day.
Tis a handsome fellow.
So cute and a great perspective… love the look of your blog.
Thank you, I do love this theme! 🙂
I love frogs. But if one jumped on my face when I wasn’t expecting it, I’d probably scream.
I probably did the first time one jumped on me, and I was in a kayak at the time so that could have been disastrous. But it is a very unique sensation, like one of those kids’ toys that you fling at the wall and watch it flip down, so now if I feel that, I know what it is immediately and don’t panic. 🙂
Ahh, I know that stuff, my kids used to love it. And I’d toss it out when it got full of dust and dirt. Ick.
