The Early Frog…
John Pastore reports: "Attached is frog, enjoying sunrise, from yesterday (Friday 9/14).
"He was
on end of Warden's Watch peninsula, and proved to be a most cooperative
subject.
"As I had my wide angle lens deployed, I needed to get quite
close for the frog to be large enough in the frame.
"I was down on my
knees, with camera extended full arms length. He tolerated several
shots before abandoning his rock." (Thanks, John!)
