This was taken in 2012 and the original RAW file has been lost to hard drive crashes, poor pre-Lightroom organization, etc. but I did keep the original NPN file. While shooting out in our garden this little guy inexplicably jumped onto my camera strap. View the first comment for a little context. All comments welcome.>=))>

Always nice to have good help!  Bill, another fun shot where the original post really shows off the frog well.

Good one(s), Bill. The large view gives a nice close-up look at this neat little frog.....laugh

It gives me recall to a few "close encounters" I've enjoyed with various critters rummaging through my photo gear at times. The last was a cottontail out at JTNP that walked right up to my pack on the ground within 6 feet of me photographing a landscape scene........sad

My favorite encounter was with a raven at one of the most remote spots in DVNP years ago. The raven kept picking up a red rock, the same one each time, and tossing closer towards me with each pitch. It took me a minute or two to realize he was trading the red rock for a piece of my PBJ sandwich. I did give the ingenious little guy a piece of the whole wheat crust.......enlightened
