This image is also my avatar. Taken back in 2007, it made it onto National Geographic's "Daily Dozen" on their "Your Shot" section of their website, but didn't make into the print edition...Hope the upload doesn't mess with the resolution too much...I had found this frog at my day job at the time. It was all dried up & shriveled. On a hunch, I put it in a small cup with a very small amount of water & it came back to life. Got a few snaps of it out on the Magnolia tree in my backyard before letting it loose...

Edit,
As I thought, the resolution suffers...Here's a link to it on my Flickr stream...

It's such a cute photo! And I really love that you rescued the little guy! I carried a spider in a coffee cup down an elevator in an office building - to release it into some landscaping!

Worthy of a good avatar, one good turn deserves another he got you into National Geographic's "Daily Dozen" on their "Your Shot" section of their website; very well done. Hope the little guy survived after such a hard time.

Thanks....I've found several more of these little tree frogs over the years, but none posed for me like this one did...I guess that was his way of saying "Thanks" !
