The Grass?  Yes, it Tastes Great! by taffy

The Grass? Yes, it Tastes Great!

I almost stepped on this poor critter, but it moved just in time. I ran in to get my camera. He was hidden in heavy grass so as I cleared it away to get a shot, he stayed in the same spot but shifted 90 degrees. I moved grass again, and again he shifted 90 degrees. This happened three times -- never left the spot, but kept turning to the side. Finally, patience won out, and he let me move a few blades but nothing too close to him. I loved his satisfied smile!
Great find and capture

Adorable! Amazing that he stayed in one spot and didn't hop off.

Amazing story to get this great capture!

So pleased you got him in the end!
July 28th, 2017  
he knew what you were up to? I always feel a bit guilty if I remove a bit of grass or foliage - with me, usually in vein - but you have a lovely capture here.

Lovely shot

Well done for your patience. It paid off. A great fella!
July 28th, 2017  
Your narrative is just so funny, I can picture the scene vividly. But your persistence paid off bigtime. Wonderful shot, the frog's expression's worth bottling for future use.
July 28th, 2017  
Maybe wanted you to kiss him.
July 29th, 2017  
Impressive detail, you must have been on your knees.
July 29th, 2017  
Great expression and I like his mouth full and the eyes pop wonderfully
July 29th, 2017  
Fav. Fantastic focus and details!
July 29th, 2017  
Wow - what a fantastic shot. I guess your persistence paid off! Love it!
July 29th, 2017  
I can just picture you down in the grass intent on getting this shot! Great capture!

@tonydebont Actually, I was sitting on a garden knee pad! Kneeling would take too much balance. Thanks for the kind comment on the details.

He knew which was his best side. Methinks he has prior modeling experience. Great portrait of him.
July 29th, 2017  
Lovely focus...
July 29th, 2017  
Great close up - and there's that froggy grin again. Your frogs seem very accommodating - ours take off as soon as you try to get close.
July 29th, 2017  
Wow awesome close up Taffy!
July 30th, 2017  
Lovely focus on the eyes, I love how he is peeking through the grass.

Eyes on you! This is my fav of the frog shots! But I am working backwards through your project so if you have more I might have to change my vote!
