Cute Froggie

I won't say where my son Tom retrieved him from this morning , but his new home is among the leaves of the passion fruit vine out the back.
He's very tame, (well why wouldn't he be, we've handled him enough times in the past.) and was quite happy to pose for a couple of photos.
oh, camera 550d set to auto, with the 90mm tammy lens on manual focus.

Jeanette,

That is such a beautiful photograph -- so touching.

Technically, a little more depth of field would have helped get his face in full focus, but, on the other hand, the greens, cream and skin tones are so complementary, that I can overlook the focus and appreciate the overall composition.

That is awesome. : )

He looks very content and pleased with himself.
Wouldn't it be nice to be so relaxed about life.
