My kingdom for a tree frog

Several years ago I found a gray tree frog at my parents house in northern Wisconsin. I tried but wasn't able to make any decent images of that frog.

Since then I kept hoping to get another chance. Last week I finally got my chance. I found another gray tree frog and photographed the heck out of it.

I really love the color and expressiveness of this little frog.


 

 
Though it's called a gray tree frog this one was a beautiful shade of green.

 
One of the greatest features about tree frogs are their feet. They seem to stick to almost anything with their specialized toes and feet.

 

 
After I made these images I took the frog back to the spot where I had found him.

Here the frog seems to effortlessly cling to the side of a maple tree.
