Two days ago I was delighted to spot my first-of-year American Green Tree Frog on a lotus stem at Reeves Slough at Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge.<\/p>\n

Spotting these tree frogs can be harder than you might think, mainly because they are green frogs in a habitat made up of many shades of green.<\/p>\n

After a bit though, I’ve found that my eyes are trained to see them.<\/p>\n

This green tree frog was close to the fishing pier at Reeves Slough. By bending down, I was able to photograph the frog at a low angle in between the wooden slats of the pier.<\/p>\n

Sure, I would have liked for the light to be a bit better than it was but I wasn’t going to pass on photographing my first tree frog of the year!<\/p>\n

Last year, I was super excited to take tree frogs images again, it had been more than fifteen years since I had one in my viewfinder.<\/p>\n

My dear friend Steve Creek<\/span><\/a> spotted this second tree frog on the other side of the pier. I enjoyed the way it looked like the frog was peeking at me as I photographed her or him.<\/p>\n

Last July I had a marvelous time photographing American Green Tree Frogs at the refuge. I’m hoping I’ll have a great time with them again this July too.<\/p>\n

Life is<\/em> good.<\/p>\n
