When it comes to wildlife, my sister Mo knows what she likes. Frogs. And seeing as today is Mo’s birthday, a frog it is. And not just any old frog — a high fiving tree frog. At least that’s what this hourglass tree frog appears to be doing. I came across the little guy on a nocturnal walk in Corcovado National Park in Costa Rica. Hourglass tree frogs are also sometimes called pantless tree frogs. What I like most about this trouserless specimen is that if you look close, you can see the reflection of his hand in his eyeball. Happy birthday Mo — from me and the frog. Nikon D700 with Nikkor 105mm macro lens, ISO 400, f/14 at 1/60th of a second, two Nikon SB-900 flash units on a bracket
This translucent creature—-Reaching out, perhaps another step–We must care for these.—-Sean, Lawrie
and all—I thank you for the mornings—That I love so much.
Happy birthday MO! This little guy is gorgeous and it sure does look like he’s giving a high five. Great image Sean. Very hard to get the focus spot on in those lighting conditions.Presumably he’s very small.
