Treefrog

I don't see treefrogs as often as I might think, but I am
fascinated by them each time I do.
|

|
Treefrogs have an ability to turn their heads, not just their eyes
to look around them. |
 |
|
|
|
 |
It is particularly amusing to see
them glued to a vertical wall and turn their heads to look back at
whatever might be watching them. |
|
|
|
|
They do not hesitate to leap relatively large distances. If
they land on concrete, you hear the same sound as if a saturated
sponge was slammed to the pavement. All you can think is,
"That had to hurt!". |

This treefrog seemed equally amused at me as I kept trying to focus
my camera in the dark so it would look right when the flash went
off. It was not easy and the tree frog remained patient with
me between each shot. |
