Plains Leopard Frog (Rana blairi)

Weekends are for macro. With folks stomping and staggering around the public patch, not much birding to be done. Our most prolific frog here. Recent emergence of toads, grasshoppers, and crickets plus other invertebrates has provided well for them so far. App. 3 inches (75mm) long in depicted posture

He's lovely Bill. What a gorgeous eye he has.

A super shot.

Thanks everyone. That was one very cooperative frog. Little dickens would let water striders approach at side.
Slurp them up obliquely, too quick to anticipate and catch with a pic.

Spectacular picture of this gorgeous Leopard Frog. Brilliant lighting, focus, dof, color, detail, eye contact, setting, and reflection. Stunning Bill!!!
