The Joy Of Photographing Frogs
They’re slippery customers, but the elusive amphibians’ vibrant colors make the wait worthwhile
There is nothing but the smooth surface of the water, reflecting the green summer surroundings. A flat, unbroken field of bright green. Out of nowhere a pair of eyes slowly break through the surface, barely making a ripple in the water.
A frog has just surfaced.
This is commonly the only part of frogs that I see, those big round eyes sticking out of the water. With some patience and luck I’ve been able to photograph them a bit more out of the water and on rare occasion when they still have their tadpole tail.
Frogs sure are very different creatures compared to the birds I’m used to photographing but they sure are fun to get close to and very interesting to watch. As always, thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoy this selection of frog photos I’ve put together.
