I dont normally like to add more then two photos on one subject in a single blog, but this little guy was just so photogenic! Ive done some quick research (as my knowledge of frog identification is quite limited) and from what I can tell, this little guy is a Slender Tree Frog. They apparently come in various shades of fawn to green and have the little racing stripe from their nose to their thigh. I uncovered him while digging up kangaroo paws in the skate park. He launched himself from the plant I was removing and I couldnt leave him sitting in the mulch (we were stromping though there and I certainly didnt want him squished), so after several escape attempts I managed to pick him up and move him. However, he seemed to had grow attached to me as he didnt want to leave when I tried putting him in the garden bed. He sat on my hand looking between me and the leaves, in the end I had to shake him off. You know I honestly do wish I had more encounters like this at work. Really brightens up your day.
