Spring Peeper, nightwalk, home

In addition to walking during the daylight hours, I've also begun a series of nightly treks. They're not very long—usually, I just walk around the yard—but they've been very productive. Case in tonight's point: I had all my after-dark camera gear with me, from extra lights to my venerable micro lens, so when I spotted an unexpected Spring Peeper—a truly tiny one, and most likely a member of this year's graduating class—hanging out on the leaf of a shrub at about shoulder height, I was ready to capture it. Many frogs are now on the move out of their breeding ponds, and for the next couple of months, I'll see them frequently on the lawn and along the edge of the woods. The one, on a night-time walkabout, was unusually cooperative... or maybe it just enjoyed having its picture taken.
