Green lifer

I was taking photos of leaves, seeing how their veins line up, how they're attached to the stems, whether they're hairy or not ... I thought a little green lump on one was a gall.  Got closer. Look!

Tree frog on red-osier dogwood leaf. A big leaf is about 10 cm. long.

I moved the leaf to get a better view; the frog stayed put.

Cute little long, brown toes!
 
On my way back to the car, an hour later, I looked; the frog was still on the same leaf.

Another lifer for me at the beaver pond.

Estaba en las orillas de la laguna de los castores, sacando fotos de hojas, examinando las venas, viendo como se distribuyen, como se fijan las hojas a los tallos, si tienen o no vellos ... Creí que una protuberancia chiquita sería una agalla. Me acerqué. ¡Y mira lo que encontré!

Fotos: Una rana arborícola, Hyla sp. en una hoja de Cornus sericea. Las hojas más grandes miden hasta 10 centímetros, lo que da una idea del tamaño de esta ranita. Se quedó quieta en su hoja, hasta cuando yo las movía para verla  mejor. Cuando pasé una hora más tarde, regresando al coche, la rana seguía en la misma hoja.

Es la primera vez que veo una de estas ranitas.

I'm having to moderate all comments because Blogger seems to have a problem notifying me. Sorry about that. I will review them several times daily, though, until this issue is fixed.

Also, I have word verification on, because I found out that not only do I get spam without it, but it gets passed on to anyone commenting in that thread. Not cool!
