Today is February 29 (well, it was when I posted this picture!!) and I thought I'd celebrate by putting up this picture of a tiny friend I met down at the edge of the Rogue River a week or so ago! Measuring in at just 1/2", I didn't see notice this adorable Pacific Tree Frog while I was looking around for pictures to take. Instead, he got my attention by flinging himself into the air in front of me and landing in a cartwheel, coming to rest on a large rock by the river's edge. This sweetheart was very brave and allowed me to creep closer and closer with my camera until I filled the frame with him! I'm pretty happy because this is my first amphibian shot with my new camera, yay!!

I've uploaded two other pictures today and I hope you'll visit them too!

Thanks to all of you who have visited and have left comments and favorites! I try to go to all of your pages within a day or two and is a highlight for me to see your beautiful photography! :)

NOTE! I have finally updated my profile and I hope you'll take a look to find out a little more about me and how important all of you are to my experience here on Flickr!
