Grey tree frog not chorus

A small group of chorus frogs were brought to the nature center just as they were finishing their metamorphous from the tadpole stage. At this stage the frog could set on my little finger nail with room to spare. I was able to set the camera at the macro mode and use the built in flash.

Terrific look at this little frog (I'm thinking Grey Tree Frog but it might be a Spring Peeper), John. How nice to get all of the frog and the foreground sharp.

A really beautiful looking frog. Good sharpness and DOF. Lovely color as well. :toast:

Was back at the nature center today and the naturalist and I looked again at the ID of the "chorus" frogs and decided Mark was right, these are grey tree frogs. I thought I had photos of a new species also.
