Description


The American green tree frog (Hyla cinerea) is about two inches long, and lives mainly in the southeastern United States.
This little guy was sleepily lounging on a dry reed in a wetlands area near Houston, Texas.
He was a docile subject, but I couldn't get him to smile for the camera ... :)
Minor adjustments in PS CC.

Well, he looks just like Australia's White lipped frog, and ours is huge, Peggy! I would say about 6 inches long, larger than our normal tree frogs, which are between 4 and 5 inches. I love the detail in his skin, and the fact he's smiling at you! #1571622
