  1. Something I'd never managed to see before- a Northern Green Frog, Lithobates clamitans melanota, shedding. I've seen my own Gray treefrogs shed many...

  2. Calling Northern Green Frog, Rana clamitans. First one I've managed to photograph calling, so that was pretty cool. Every time he would sound out,...

  3. Calling Spring Peeper. I was a little concerned that once I set up my camera gear I'd have a long wait before he got used to me and resume calling....

  4. Spring Peeper, Pseudacris crucifer, on a young evergreen tree maybe 40cm off the ground. He was maybe 3 or 4 metres away from the waters edge. I...

  5. Top view of the mornings activities. I like the different patterns and colours of the two males.

  6. Nearly the same angle as the other froggy porn one, but with a silver reflector added on the right to balance the light and help the colours come...

  7. Lone Northern Leopard frog floating about in a shallow swampy area. The sun was behind him, this is the result when you set the exposure to...

  8. Froggy porn. Northern Leopard Frogs doing their thing. Another backlit photo- exposure was set to leave the shadow side still appear in shadow,...

  9. A Wood Frog, Rana sylvatica, chilling on a log from last fall.

  10. Northern red-bellied snake, Storeria occipitomaculata occipitomaculata, that was found on my front porch in the morning. The "red-belly" part is...

  11. Yet another wee maybe 1" Gray Treefrog, Hyla versicolor. Found this resting on a folding table that was stacked against a wall. The table was being...

  12. Wee 1" or so Gray Treefrog, Hyla versicolor, that landed on my head when I went to open a door. It then jumped to this stone/cement wall where it...

  13. Wee maybe 1" long Gray Treefrog, Hyla versicolor. Moved to the relative safety of a hosta in the garden from a window sill that was about to be...

  14. Decidedly an adult male Gray Treefrog, Hyla versicolor. Creamy white, yea, I can blend in with a creamy white colour.

  15. A very dark Green Frog, Rana clamitans, taken August 2011. I'm pretty sure this is the same frog as the next photo, but fully grown here. The eyes...

  16. A very dark Green Frog, Rana clamitans, that turned up last year. It has almost pitch black eyes with none of the usual gold. This photo is from Sept...

  17. Rana clamitans sitting on a rock by a pond. This frog has spent at least the last 2 days in this exact same spot. It may move at night, but it's...

  18. Gray Tree Frog, Hyla versicolor, that I had to move from the top of a window that was about to be closed to the relative safety of a nearby...

  19. Green frog, Rana clamitans, that I put in my mobile photo tank. It settled to floating lazily pretty quick. The white bits are air tiny bubbles from...

  20. Green frog, Rana clamitans, floating around the edge of a pond near some grass.

  21. Green frog, Rana clamitans, floating around in a shallow pond in a forest.

  22. Green frog, Rana clamitans, floating around in a shallow pond in a forest. Yes, lately I have been somewhat obsessed with male green frogs floating...

  23. Adult male Green Frog, Rana clamitans, hanging out near the edge of a pond. It didn't want to call with me so close, but resumed shortly after I...

  24. First frog eggs I've found this season. I'm guessing they are either Leopard frog or Spring Peeper eggs as that's all I think I heard calling last...

  25. Close up of the same egg mass as the other photo. My mkII version of underwater photography failed, so this is the mkIII use of the tank- I used it...

  26. Leopard frog, Rana pipiens.

  27. A big green frog, Rana clamitans, hiding in some of last years dead water grass.

  28. Leopard frog, Rana pipiens, floating in the water. That's ice behind it- one of the first wild frogs of the season.

  29. Spring Peeper found while cleaning up the garden last fall. He took a turn in my portable studio/overturned cooler before being deposited in an area...

  30. Male Spring Peeper found while cleaning up the gardens. I moved him to away from where I was working, but in the process he jumped at my face and...

  31. Spring Peeper that came awfully close to the whipper-snipper. Moved to the safety of a planter.

  32. Spring Peeper whose hands both look severely gimped. They really aren't (it wasn't that close to the whipper snipper!), I just caught it in a very...

  33. Female, adult, green (semi-tree) frog. She is about 20" off the ground and appears to have spent the night in this location. It can't be comfortable...

  34. While I often 'stage' photos by putting a frog someplace picturesque, I would never put one in an uncomfortable looking location, such as a delicate...

  35. Gray treefrog climbing a sliding glass door on a greenhouse. At least that's what it was pretending to do, it was really just admiring itself in the...

  36. Gray treefrog in the classic "I can hang from the wall and you can't, nyah nyah" pose.

  37. Grey treefrog, still on the wall, showing off it's lovely yellow bits.

  38. Here's a grey treefrog in it's natural habitat- the top of a door frame. Normally they sit flat on the ledge, or flat hanging from the wall over the...

  39. Teeny gold coloured Spring Peeper that was resting right in the path of the mower. I moved it to the safety of this red canna lily.

  40. Same peeper that I nearly mowed. It left the red canna and hopped to this green one, where it settled down and posed nicely for me. I've been trying...

  41. If this leopard frogs green looks to be the same colour as the green moss, that's because it is. If it's beige bits look to be the same colour as the...

  42. Leopard frog of the brownish variety.

  43. Pretty small grey treefrog hunkered down in a rolled up tarp thing of a temporary car port. It hung out here for at least a month, but I haven't seen...

  44. Green frog by the side of a small man made pond.

  45. Full sized adult leopard frog, Rana pipiens, in my yard a year ago. I really liked the hint of green in the folds of the shoulders/hips.

  46. Basement spotted salamander, Ambystoma maculatum. This one was in the 15cm range. It stayed in the same spot while I was in the basement and while I...

  47. Mid-sized green frog, Rana clamitans melanota. As I watched this frog, the clouds behind the frog parted, making for the nice blue reflection in the...

  48. I think this has to be a Spotted Salamander, Ambystoma maculatum, that I found under a piece of bark near a pond. It was maybe 7cm long.

  49. Gray treefroglet. You can just see the nub of a curled up tail. Only found one on land, but numerous tadpoles at various stages were swimming about....

  50. Same Peeper as the last photo. It's tail was mostly absorbed at this point. So tiny!

  51. Perhaps the cutest frog I've personally seen is a spring peeper froglet, Pseudacris crucifer. I'm pushing for the owners to not mow around the pond...

  52. I believe this is a Northern Redback Salamander, Plethodon cinereus. I found it inside of a pile of bricks I was moving. Unfortunately moving the...

  53. Another Gray on the way to its favorite door frame for the day. It's front hands look gimped, but that's just how it traveled down the wall- it would...

  54. Probably not a good idea to name the wild frogs around here, but this guy/gal has been dubbed "Squishy" and is the frog a few pictures back who was...

  55. This Gray Treefrog has spent the last two days on the edge of this water barrel. It heads to higher altitudes where the flies are in the evenings.

  56. How small a crack can a Gray Treefrog squeeze through? About the size of it's head by the look of it, this wild one wasn't stuck and made it out.

  57. Spring Peeper found calling after sunset mid-May.

  58. Snapping Turtle trying to lay eggs in my garden. It scurried off when I wasn't looking. I carefully dug where it was, but didn't find any eggs. Too...

  59. Snapping turtle on a nearby bridge digging a hole to lay eggs. I kept checking on it every 15 minutes or so, and I'm fairly certain it laid eggs...

  60. Young (about 1" long) American toad. Found while whipper snipping.
