I manage to put away my camera gear when it rains, but I made an exception. A tiny gray tree frog was hanging out in the rain, undoubtedly taking advantage of the wet conditions. The frog is about 3/4’s of an inch in length so I figured this little frog can sneak into the macro and close-up gallery. Enjoy.

Good-lookin’ frog, Jim. I have a few Gray’s that hang around here, but I have yet to catch one on a suitable perch for posting. You got it all, here. Good subject, good perch, good background. Nice work.
Great capture Jim, the nice sharp detail and how the composition was done very well. The vegetation and lighting really bring out this subject very well.
I am so glad you found this little guy, Jim, and pulled out the gear into the rain. I love the perch he is on, with all the lichen too. I am sure he was enjoying the rain. Nice details, and a wonderful smooth background.
I love it and am jealous - I only ever seem to find these frogs on the deck, never in a more natural environment. Odd green shade here, too. Usually they are brighter, at least that’s how I find them. They camouflage so well. The background is wonderful and I love the lichen, too.
