In honor of my frog loving little sister who’s birthday it is today, I had to search through my archives to find a suitable subject. This beauty is a Madagascar reed frog that I photographed in the town of Maroantsetra. I was stranded in the town due to bad weather and spent several days just walking around the grounds of the hotel I was staying at, looking for whatever animals I could find. When young, these frogs are completely yellow (see this link to a juvenile that I saw the next day) but when they mature, they get that nice light blue color on their backs. Happy birthday Mo.

Great choice, Sean, that’s a beauty. I’m sure Mo will enjoy it!
Happy Birthday Mo!!!
Great for your sister, bad for the most pleasant woman in the world.
True Patti, true.
Great shot, I’ve heard Madagascar has unparalleled biodiversity.
Oh, LOVE this little guy! Much cuter than the frogs in the dirty fish bowl on my desk. Happy birthday to your sis!
Thanks Seanie, always one of my favorite gifts!!
