I took the kids out for an Earth Day adventure to the creek and hiking trails. Found some trash, skipped some rocks, played with seaweed, picked up some little shells, stopped and smelled the flowers, talked about the Earth, and snapped this little froggy making his way back to the water…

Larger version here.

That’s one of the funniest photos I’ve taken this year (besides the ones of my hilarious kids) and I’m glad I threw the camera into rapid fire as soon as my son spotted him jumping. I wasn’t sure if I even got a shot of him until I got home and looked through the photos. He was fast! (I assume it was a boy froggy) I had to crop the heck out of this one to make him show up clearly. He was a baby frog so we searched for more and some tadpoles in the water. Reminded me of my days as a kid growing up across the street from a big creek where we spent most of our days.

I got another shot off right after that one and his legs are in the top right corner of the frame but his shadow is on the rocks. Frogs are so awesome.   » Reply to this comment...
