19th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Frog in puddle

This picture shows a frog camouflaging in the water/dirt, behind some twigs. This picture was taken the day after the forest behind my house was eliminated. It was a treasure to me, a place full of wonders. This picture makes me really sad. When I saw that frog he seemed nervous but he did not run away from me. He seemed tired. It's one of the last pictures I took before the place was destroyed.
