Disco Frog

Posted by peter (new york, United States) on 9 June 2009 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.

I took this shot of a frog from the other side of a kitchen window. Moments after I took this he ate the bug located at 2 o'clock to him. I tried to capture it but my shutter speed wasn't fast enough for his stealthy tongue!

Hi everyone!
Apologies for the absence lately. Things have been really hectic at work and I haven't been able to get out there and shoot as much as I would like. I'll try to be back on AM3 more often but probably with less frequency of posts until things get a bit less busy. In the meantime, I will try to get to some wonderful shots I've missed from all you talented photographers. Thanks for all your great comments lately and I look forward to catching up!
Cheers,
Peter

Well cool shot, this is a great capture.
I really like tree frogs, they are my favorite frogs, but not native here, but naturalized escapes have spread all over the place, so I hope one visits my location one day.
