This is cool! So nicely camouflaged! So difficult to trace!
Wow! U both do hv a keen eye for details! Loved this one 🙂
Awesome pictures, as always!
Good to know that the little one is keeping you busy 🙂
What do you call him at home?
Wow really does look like a leaf! Really great shots.
Amazing photography. And quite an information too. Thanks for sharing 🙂
mridula, sandeep, flyaway, mohan, kitten, laura:
🙂 😀
interesting animal, great shots! that’s a weird frog 😀
Great to see you nd the lovely bits of info and photos…
something more enjoyable has kept u away and rightly so 🙂
Wow.. Great capture! Looks like the frogs too have the chameleon instincts. Color and the hour glass formation looks really cool, never observed a frog this close!
The hour glass looks like a butterfly to me..butterfly frog 🙂
in the locket? home made holy water 🙂 i don’t know where that chain is now, at the moment i wear an emf protector around my neck
awww you left so many nice comments on the wrong blog 🙁
Hi!!! long time no see!! i moved my photoblog so update them thar feeds if you have one for me, you can still find me at totallylike.me tho…. i love the froggy pictures!!! such a pretty little creature and you’ve captured it so well!!
But you are still giving out the old url in your comments. How do I reach you in the new one?
Hi there! the old url should work, it’s a redirect, but right now people are having probs because of the DNS not migrating fast enuff, so i gave you the new direct url… 🙂 see you there!!
shooting a subject this low would have been a really challenging task!
Difficult, yes. But is nice to lie around with my models once a while 😉
Beautiful and crisp pictures you really have the art of photography…… unfortunately Bangalore is so much urbanized and populated its almost 10 years we have seen any frogs in the rainy season….
Yes, whenever I come to Bangalore, I miss the beauty and the nature-spread it had in the past. Seems it is not more called a garden city?
LOL @ Pins
But ya even i wonder what fancies the tiny litl creatures to showcase before you and be caught on camera 😀 may be ya they know Rocksea is the best place for showbiz 😉
Yep my studio is outside, and the models jump around so that I can see them 😀
Hi Roxy,
Nice to see that you are back in the blog-o-sphere!
Hope you had a nice time with ur family…
I have some photos of frogs and reptilia from my farmhouse backyard…But I got no clue about their species or names whatsoever…
How do I identify them? plz help!
I am “still” having a nice time with my family 😛
There are amphibianindia and reptileindia yahoogroups which share information on frogs and reptiles, which you may want to consider. I am not an expert, but if you send me a few, I can try to find out.
its a treat to read ur posts! beautiful pictures and information
lol, I was guessing why the couple was kept away from blogosphere for such a long time. My guess was right…good girl.. Already has a firm grip on daddy 😉
yaar it is a boy 😀 He is teething now, irritated of that, and getting more and more active!
Oh sorry boss, so its ‘good boy’!! 🙂
seriously both of U have an eye for tiny things or word has spread in the animal world that rocksea.org is the best place for a little publicity stunt, so they come in search of you, in your balcony, in and around the fish pond on the bed :P…
Is this the same principle for some people whose eye colour change according to the dress they wear or time of day? I’ve studied abt mimicry n camouflage the stick and leaf insects and the great chameleon… Metachrosis is a new word in my vocabulary. Thank you Rocksea:)))
yes yes, we have a lot of models lining up haha.
The color change with clothese seems due to reflection from the clothes, especially on lighter eye colors. Metachrosis and crypsis are for you 😉
I just wonder how you capture such great pictures. 🙂 and thanks a lot for educating us on our co-buddies on earth 😉
Hey Nithya, They seem to be comfortable with me 😉 When I observe them, photograph them, and prepare these articles for the reader, it is a lot of self-education, and I am happy that it works for them as well. I guess you feel the same with your crafts 🙂
As always, great pictures and nice to read about the frog. The hour glass looks nice like a rabbit on the moon.
haha. nice metaphor abhi 😀
I was about to say that it has been a long time since we saw a post from you. And what beautiful pictures!
