Why is this Leaf in my mouth?, a photo from Queensland, East

Photographer's Note

After our Big storm we had, I went out to the car and this frog scared me, as it was evening already so i didnt see him, he was sitting on my footpath, now days it is rarely you ever see this kind of green frog,so i went and got the camera.The size of this frog was about the size of a closed fist.The reason that there is not many of these frogs around is because of the cane toads.

Nice shot :) Really good timing. I like the specks of dirt and leaves on the body, it makes a nice contrast from the traditionally perfect & clean magazine shots you see.

What a handsome fellow :-) Look at him shining :) He totally integrates in the frame. Love the colours here. Great moment!

Hi Marilyn,
Nice portrait. Very relaxed posture. And bright colours and shine. The leaf reminds me of guys with straw in mouth, going nowhere, resting with no worries.

Hi Marylin
How sweet and funny frog. He/she looks beautiful.
Luck that you didn`t hurt the frog.
Hmm, where do you know from the frog is a man ;)?
Have a nice night.

P.S. I`m happy that your sister inspired you to photography. I like your images a little more than images of joeydrops :). Excluding the yellow Moon ;).
