I took these today. For those who live in Brisbane, Australia, I go quite regularly to the botanical gardens at Mount Coot-tha.

These frogs are no more than 2cm long and from what I've been told, these are miniture frogs - not babies. I've yet to find out their correct names.

As always, comments / critique most welcome.

    Litoria fallax (eastern dwarf tree frog) Thats a very cute frog !

    G'day michelle, funny as i was thinking about frogs only this afternoon. Something reminded me of the all night chorus of frog songs i used to listen to as a kid in the bush after rain. That was a great sound.

    Hey Gus - these guys were having a general chit chat as I was photographing them this morning. Most probably along the lines of: "Look at that funny thing - on her belly with that contraption at her eye!"

    Thank goodness it was early and i didn't embarress myself.
