I photograph a wide variety of subjects. I generally photograph what I love. And I love wildlife.

I don’t photograph wildlife as much as I would like even though wildlife photography was my inspiration for starting this photography journey. I think a large part of this is because wildlife photography has a large component of luck. We rely on the animals showing up, and there is no guarantee that will actually happen.

Especially since I am only able to pursue my photography on a part time basis I have a hard time committing my limited time and resources to a venture that may yield zero results.

But when I do take the time and make that commitment I enjoy the results I am able to achieve.

There is a wide array of wildlife to try and photograph. Larger wildlife like many land mammals. Flashy and fast birds. And small but brightly colored butterflies. These are some of the subjects that can quickly draw ones attention.

However, it is easy to forget the ones that fall in between those ranges. Medium sized animals that often go unnoticed. And they can easily go unseen. Frogs and other amphibians are around but often staying out of sight.

Amphibians spend a lot of time underwater or underground. They can be hard to see or find even when looking for them. But when I do see a frog out in the open I try to take a moment to capture an image if I can.

Frogs are such interesting creatures. They live a lifestyle that is completely alien to us. Their experience of life would be unrecognizable to a human mind. Imagine being able to traverse to different worlds, water and land, as well as a frog does. What would that be like?

Frogs also are really interesting looking. They have a wide variety of textures and colors. Though where I live they are mostly greens and browns. And if you can get a closeup of their eyes there is something truly fascinating about how they look.

I wanted to share two different types of photos I like for frogs. One is a close up that really shows off their cool eyes. The other is a slightly more scenic shot that gives a depiction of the environment in which the frog lives.
