I paid a visit to a friend's house last summer that was inundated with juvenile green treefrogs. It was so bad that they literally could not go about a normally functioning life without squishing one here and there because they would crawl into the door jam as soon as it opened.
I took a bunch of shots, and the one below was interesting because the frog was on the porch light and strongly backlit. I believe it is the veins in the leg that are clearly visible. I was hoping that others could post pictures of backlit frogs as well, showing some of their skeletal/venous structures. I might even experiment this summer with intentionally backlighting treefrogs to get higher-quality photos like this.

"The irrational fear of snakes is the only excuse a grown man has... to act like a complete sissy" - Colchicine
... nature has ceased to be what it always had been - what people needed protection from. Now nature - tamed, endangered, mortal - needs to be protected from people. When we are afraid, we shoot. But when we are nostalgic, we take pictures.
