Stunning series. I just love the eye! WOW! I am blown away! Totally! HA!
Great series!
Thanks again CheiefRedEarth! I am very pleased with them myself. :-)
I have only seen about a dozen of these in my lifetime.
KarenL: don't count on it! These guys come out during the heavy rains and thunder storms.
Hopefully I will get to meet one soon on one of your evening hikes!
DavidMroczkowski: LOL...this one was relatively cooperative, but I did have to catch him a couple of times ;-)
KarenL and CindyBinghamKeiser: Thanks, they are amazing little frogs!
CheifRedEarth: I have always been fascinated by their eyes! Thanks!
Great series! (How much did you have to pay 'em to sit still?) Beautiful photography.
Thanks Neil! I love these guys!
