Frog in Calla Lily.

I was out with the camera after a passing thunderstorm. As I was photographing a group of calla lilies, I happened upon this little guy nestled comfortably in one, taking shelter from the rain.

I'd like a poster of this photo. I have a marshy little creek on one corner of my woods, so I see frogs and toads often. My favorite are the little guys who look like small dappled stones. It surprises me quite often to see the pebbles move in my rock garden.
