Hydrangeas and frog


More hydrangeas. This morning I was heading out to go take my friend Paula to lunch and at the last minute decided to cut some more of the hydrangeas and take them to her. As I bent over to cut a branch I was surprised to see this tiny frog sitting on one of the leaves. I knew if I ran inside for my camera he'd be gone by the time I got back, then I remembered my phone in my pocket and I got the picture. I hear frogs around our house all the time. Lots of them. But I almost never see one. This was such a pretty little thing and so tiny I almost thought it was a big bug of some kind at first. And, isn't this a great photo for having been taken by a phone camera? I am really impressed with the iPhone camera.

  3. I gave my camera to my daughter and just use my iPhone now. It's always with me and it's so easy to use. I think the quality is excellent, as demonstrated by your photo today. I really love little frogs like that one.

  4. I love your picture -- and how smart to think of your Iphone! That frog sure is the perfect color for that leaf! The hydrangea colors are spectacular, too. They are among my favorite flowers!

  9. We have little green frogs everywhere and bigger ones at night. I am envious because I have never been able to get a picture.

    The colors of the flowers are incredible. I am thinking they would make for some lovely yarn.

  10. Those colors are amazing.
    The newer phones have as many mp as a camera! My daughter's droid has 8 mp, and my camera has 8.1.
    I have 18x zoom and she only has 3x. I think a camera is still better for taking photos of artwork, but for snapshots, the phone is great.

  14. I could just melt! Those colors are fabulous, and the frog is the icing on the cake. My hydrangeas NEVER turn like that! Maybe it is your climate, or the species?
