Nice photo, but it's a Gray Tree Frog, Hyla chrysoscelis (even though it's green).

There are "true" Green Tree Frogs (Hyla cinerea) in western Kentucky, but they are an immaculate green with white lateral stripes.

Here is a psuedo-macro shot, since I only had my 24-105mm on hand when I took this. Heavily cropped.

Joel great Ant and Frog. Very nice light on both of them.
Dave, excellent grab on the Damsel Fly. Those are some of the most interesting bugs out there.
Dave, great grass spider. Those guys are very handy when it comes to mosquito control!
Here is a couple of new ones I captured recently. Both from the gardens this weekend.

Not much action here in a long time! I bought a used Tamron 90 VC recently and wanted to take some photos. I didn't expect much, but came across a few I liked.

The bee and flower together turned out great. A lot of DOF at f/16, and yet the background is far enough away to make the subject really stand out. Well thought out composition.Quote:

Chasing a butterfly to catch it with the wings open with a similar rig on our sidewalk.... My wife laughed out loud enough for the neighbors to take notice.
You need to be there to throw dices to became lucky!Quote:

I'm not a bee nut or anything, but I take advantage of what is there :)

I like bees... there is so much detail on them that you cannot see with the naked eye.
Pat
I know that :pQuote:
