Yesterday while mowing I spied this little feller trying to make an awkward get-a-way from the hawthorn trees in my front yard. He looked quite silly trying to hop/walk through the grass. I decided to give him a hand and bring him to our back deck where we had a summer tree frog visit us for the whole season. He seemed comfortable where I left him and last night I decided to "leave the light on for him"! The dinner light to attract bugs!

Wonderful, wonderful image!
Great Macro Eve.
He has definitely got his beady eye on you.
These frogs always look fake to me.. great image of him/her.. and so nice of you to bring dinner..(wink)
Wonderful photo, I love gray treefrogs. A few years ago I had a trench dug for a foundation and it filled with water, we had a lot of rain that spring, and gray treefrogs laid some eggs in it. As the summer progressed the water evaporated so there was only a small puddle left full of tadpoles. I captured all of the tadpoles and put some in an aquarium and raised them till they turned to frogs, all the rest I brought to a local pond that does not evaporate and let them go. If you look at my Jan. 31st posting you'll see one of the frogs I raised. The way you found this one reminds me of the way I found the woodfrog I photographed the other day.
