Today’s theme is green on green! These two Green Tree Frog images show different individual tree frogs, but both were on vibrant green grasses at Sequoyah NWR.

While I lived in Utah, I wasn’t used to seeing green grasses at this time of year. By now, all the grasses were dried up. They were brown or tan or somewhere in between.

The greenness here is soothing and a treat for my eyes. I have missed that color more than I knew.

However, it does make these American Green Tree Frogs a bit harder to spot. Thankfully, between myself and my keen-eyed friend Steve Creek, we see a lot of them when walking the refuge’s side roads.

This second photo came about because I was trying to get images of the shape of a green tree frog on the backside of the grasses.

The problem was that I didn’t have the best light to show their shapes clearly enough to satisfy my tastes for the images I wanted to create.

So, I settled for a nearly hidden tree frog instead, and I liked this so much that I made it my cover photo on my Facebook page.

Hopefully, one day I will be able to create the photo I originally wanted with another tree frog.

There are plenty of these frogs around at the refuge right now. Maybe in the next few weeks, I’ll be able to do just that.

Until then, I plan on taking plenty of American Green Tree Frog images whenever I can!

Life is good.
