Last year I found this guy (gal?) snoozing in a lily.
They're all over the trees (and flowers and house) around here. All different kinds of tree frogs, in various sizes and colors. They make the biggest racket at night...and I LOVE it.
The best part about summer cooling down is having the windows open so I can hear them as I drift off to sleep. I'm sure it would drive some people batty, but for me, it's like a lullaby. A raucous, nothing-sounds-quite-like-it symphony of nature, right outside my windows.
It makes me smile every night.
Check out the markings. He's (she's?) green on the back, like leaves (don't the darker markings look a little like butterflies?) yet tan and brown on the underside - like a tree. Ain't nature grand?
I love this spot on the side of his (her?) head. It looks like bark. Awesome.
Wow I love the pictures! I also love the noise they make, but where I'm from they are bullfrogs, not tree frogs, and they have this huge throat that makes the most unique of sounds.
