found this fellow in an empty pot while doing a clean up...... there were quite a few a while back, I don't know what type he is, so if anyone knows that would be great........ he must of been well fed as he would not get out of the pot......

Peron's tree frog, Litoria peronii.

Nice shot. Good use of DOF - although could have benefited by a little bit more.

....... thanks ATJ..... I agree, this image needs a lot more DOF...... and the little fellow is still hanging around my pot plants on the deck, but gone a little camera shy. There must be a feed or 2 out with the plants for this little creature....... I have let him be, as he was here before me........

They mostly eat insects so it is probably getting moths or mosquitoes. We get these frogs on some of our windows if there is a light on inside as the come to feed on the moths attracted by the lights.

I like the green speckles he has on his back. Makes him look like a mint Freddo frog. :)

Bernie, you didn't tell me you were starting to branch out into food photography. :)

Love the detail, especially in the eyes.

As it happens, I was describing that cartoon to somebody just last weekend. Without wanting to hijack Bernie's thread too much more, does anyone have a link to an online image of that cartoon?

One of my Ex's cried when seeing that cartoon. :D
After a slight bit of teasing it sort of disappeared some how, and I havent seen it since. :cry:

I havent seen her for a few year, but gee I miss that cartoon.
