Bryan,

Those eyes are amazing. How fascinating.

Very impressive that you managed to keep him there, still, for 8 seconds!

Great shot, brings back memories. I had an encounter with a Green Tree Frog on South Stradbroke Island while on holiday. We had a couple of bicycles to ride around on and, in the morning, when I came out to ride, a green tree frog was on the front guard and the back tyre was flat. I wheeled the bike the kilometer or so to the workshop to get the tyre fixed, in the meantime Froggy moved up to the handlebars for a better view while I pushed the bike.
He sat there while the guy changed the tire and we started off towards the frog pond, I figured that if he stayed on, the frog pond would be a good place to set him free. I was riding along and he turned and eyeballed me, then jumped from the handlebars and on to my shoulder where he stayed until we arrived at the pond. After I climbed over the fence surrounding the pond, he departed without thanking me for the ride.

Thanks for the comments Guys



Thats a really funny story, I can just imagine it
they're clingy little buggers aren't they?
& I thought it was only cats that had servants
looks like you were only the taxi
