while trimming back some dead palmetto leaves
we spotted the largest tree frog i've ever seen...
you probably won't mistake their bark for the neighbor's dog...
sounds kind of like a smallish dog with a sore throat!

| Barking Treefrog/Hyla Gratiosa |
although they usually do most of their barking at night,
we saw this one during the day.
he didn't bark at us...
OR the moon.
but he could have!

Laura, what a cute post! I have heard the barking frog. But, I have never seen one. They are so cute! Awesome shots. Love the moon capture! Wishing you a good day and a happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots of the tree frog . . . and gorgeous green . . . I liked the early morning moon shot, sending a big woof . . .
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute, pebbley, mossy looking little guy.
ReplyDeleteLove that cute little big frog!

Wow, he is a whopper. At least twice the size of ones ive seen in recent years. he must be feeding on some super bugs thats all i can think.
ReplyDeleteCool series of photos, and diggin' that moon shot.

Lovely little fellow. There was one high up on the wall of the shower stall at Gulf Shores State Park when we were there. A merry sight.
ReplyDeleteLol at the reference to the milk ad. And I love the moon shot.
I Love that she looked right at your at you when you took the picture. What a green beauty that is!

What a cool looking frog! It looks like he's wearing indoor/outdoor carpet on his back! These are great photos...so he barks, eh? And, Kermit's quote is great! I'm working on catch up myself, since we had Scootie for over a week...took him home yesterday. He's feeling much better now...had a bout of bronchitis, and couldn't go to day care. We're pretty worn out.
ReplyDeleteThe greens in your photos are always so vibrant! Love this post! Have a great weekend Laura!♥
He is such a great colour ......what a brilliant little fella ...xx
ReplyDeleteSorry Laura have left that comment on Jim's account I can't seem to sign in on artymess .....Lorna xx
ReplyDeleteAmazing and fun post. Speaking of fun, loved the Kermit quote--a lot. Always like moon shots. Laughed at the Got Milk and clicked over to hear the bark. I was reminded of staying at a motel without air conditioning on a warm summer night. Our only window opened to a stairwell. Somewhere in that stairwell was a tree frog totally rocking on the reverb effect he was getting with his vocals. He sang ALL NIGHT. We got earplugs from the front desk at about 1 a.m.
ReplyDeleteLove the frog, all green on green leaves, fantastic Laura.
ReplyDeleteHi Laura, thanks for leaving your nice comments on my blog. Yes, in Holland it's wintertime but I prefer spring and summer! Bye the way; nice shots of "Kermit". In Holland we have also tree frogs but not in the North of Holland. They live in the south-west of Holland. So I've never seen them.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice day,
Willy
What a beautiful green frog! You do get some nice exotic critters in your yard:) Hey! Don't stress about the blogging stuff. It has been busy over here as well. Too much going on. I making a New Year's Resolution to myself starting January. Blogging once a week and that's it! This daily stuff, especially now, is way too much. I'm almost done for the month and once this year is over....I am hiking.
ReplyDeleteYour previous comment on one of the posts made me think. Sometimes one doesn't have to leave their area to find adventure. One of the greatest revelations this year has been from the birds themselves. They have taken me to places I never knew existed and it has been truly exciting living in Tucson again. And with all the birds, there's never a dull moment here. I wish sometimes that finances didn't limit people to explore our curiosities and creativity. This time of year for me is always a little overwhelming:) I also wish that somehow magically my chores would get done:)
What great work ! Haven't seen a frog in ages. Thank you for this joy. Please have you all a good new week ahead.
ReplyDeleteHe is so adorable!Love the "milk" rimmed mouth. :)
ReplyDeleteoh fantastic. nature is so brilliant.
ReplyDeletelovely greets

such incredible photos and critter, thank you for sharing this green frog!
ReplyDeleteOh gee you always get the best moon shots! I just adore that little bright green tree frog! You'd never guess where we found one during the end of summer. Inside my daughter's house sitting on top of a picture frame. They are tricky little guys!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great find! He's the cutest frog I've seen for a long time. Beautiful captures of the moon as well.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great colour that wee frog is. I don't think I've ever heard a barking frog before :)
ReplyDeleteMake sure you get to your bed early if you are up at such an unearthly hour in the morning, my goodness that's the middle of the night! :))
Must be an old frog who has seen much in his world. They sounded like a broken horn to me--LOL! He is so handsome. I like his white outlines. ;) And I love your moon shots.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute frog! You got some really great shots there =)
ReplyDeleteA gorgeous frog - and a barking one at that! Love his colour and texture... truly handsome :D)
