Description this little tree frog
has made my bamboo windchimes
it's home...

in the evening
it's croaks, chirps and calls
resonate through the chimes
making it the loudest one

I don't wonder so much how he got in there, as how he can tolerate hanging upside down like that. Silly humans would feel the blood rush to the head, certainly.

Cute shot, regardless.

That's priceless. Great job.

I keep a little tree frog as a pet, and she's wound up in some strange places over the years, which is strange considering that her terrarium is as secure as Fort Knox. Go figure.

Beautiful stuff, I love frogs. Not quite as cute but this does remind me of a similar situation. AI once visited a cousin on his farm when I was about 9. Inside a withered old post on the front gate I noticed something inside the part where the bolt would go to lock it. Inside was a small bat that had flown in there and been eating bugs until he was too large to come out again. I ended up cutting the gate post in half much to the annoyance of my cousin, until I saw why. An excellent capture mate and such a gorgeous little creature!

i these little guys too
although at times (like this morning)

and drop on your head when you walk out
:eek:

I can't recall frogs having being keen to jump on people's heads before, but then usually the frogs in peoples houses here in oz aren't the small kind. Mostly it's a big green frogs the size of a large mans fist, in someone's sink, the drain pipe or somewhere out of reach but croaking very loudly all day.

That's funny, and he's cute. Is he a tree-climbing species? Good shot! You brightened my day. Thank you.

this is the cutest picture and gets me to wondering how on earth that frog got in there and how you got him to *smile*

ShoeboxJackal [2005-06-06 23:09:38 +0000 UTC]

I agree with everyone that this is mighty cute! Tree frogs are strange little animals sometimes. I actually like the way this is cropped because if there was no title and it had been cropped more then there would be no way of telling where the frog was. This way, you know that he had to work really hard to get in there. How did you find him there?

my outside chair is not far from where the windchimes are
...i kept hearing this deep resonating 'ribbit'
and went to investigate.
i couldn't help but grab my camera!

I love you descriptions so.
I guess that the first stanza being haiku was intentional,
but I loved it.

Great shot, great subject focus.

wytrvn [2005-06-06 15:06:20 +0000 UTC]

How on earth did he get in there? To jump from a tree to a hanging, swinging windchime seems unlikely but what do I know about a frog's mind... I agree with Pinkanator though that the pic should be cropped more severely (about the top 3rd).
