I’m thoroughly delighted to be photographing American Green Tree Frogs again, and even more excited to be sharing the images I’m taking of them now in Oklahoma.

This American Green Tree Frog was photographed near Lower Scarborough Slough at Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge.
I really enjoyed the head-on view I had of the tree frog resting on the grass blade. It’s not a view I often get of these pretty frogs.
These tree frogs can be hard to spot. My dear friend and fellow photographer Steve Creek pointed this one out to me.

By taking a few steps away from where I got my first images of this American Green Tree Frog, I was able to get a side view of her or him. Okay, maybe not quite a full side view, but close enough for me.
Those few steps gave me different views and different backgrounds. I like doing that when I can, provided I have a cooperative subject like this tree frog was.
Later on, while walking slowly, I was able to photograph more American Green Tree Frogs, including one that was very tiny. I hope to see more of these tree frogs and some Gray Tree Frogs too before fall arrives.
Both tree frog species are just so freaking cute!
Life is good.

I wonder if Jim Henson’s inspiration for Kermit came from looking at tree frogs. It’s all in the eyes. Wonderful shots. Thanks Mia.
I agree they are just so stinkin cute! Great captures!
