Leopard Frog<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I just came across a very small (what I believe to be a) leopard frog. Why I saw it? \u2013 Because it moved. Once it stopped, I had a hard time finding it again. Can you spot it in the picture-insert?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I held out my hand the frog jumped on it. It did not stop but kept moving, and I felt fortunate to get one shot with the little amphibian in focus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am sharing this experience, because I felt so passionate about this sighting, so amazed at how tiny, how perfect and how fragile this little frog is. That created a sense of responsibility and reverence in me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I learned from the encounter: Frogs are amazing. Life is precious. I am grateful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What was the latest thing that created a sense of awe in you?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I almost stepped onto this little guy. At first, I thought somebody had dropped a piece of rubber in the grass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then I realized I had a visitor. A mysterious visitor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luckily he did not mind waiting there, in his spot in the grass, while I found out that the Jefferson Salamander is considered an endangered species in our area. I sat in a distance from him for a while, then let him be. He was there all evening, but gone the next morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
