17th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Tree Frog sunbathing in a pond.

I headed down to the small pond on our property that's nestled in a thickly forested area to see what might be lying about in the afternoon sun. It can be so dark there that it's hard to see what's lurking in the water, but I finally spied this tree frog near the pond's edge closest to me and was thrilled at the chance to capture the full length of his colorful body on camera.
