My National Geographic Moment . . .

While walking past the sliding glass door the other night on my way up to bed I noticed that our early summer thunderstorm had brought with it a visitor.

I grabbed Edward, turned on the porch light for some subtle illumination, turned off my flash and captured this image:

I feel like a professional photographer!  I feel a little grossed out by the microscopic detail of frogs!  I feel like I need to clean my sliding glass door more often!

Anyway, the kids thought this picture was awesome and hope our hopping friend returns for another visit sometime.

Samantha! It's awesome this picture!
Are the white spots stars? If they are, here in Virginia you can see much more than I can in Spain...

Unfortunately, Aiketa, the white spots are specks of dust, dirt and grime on my glass patio door! Next time it will be cleaner. :)

This is a fantastic photo! My boys are impressed and wonder why I don't shoot something this cool.

Edward is a keeper! Stupendous photo Sam. I agree the frog is gross when you can see all that detail.
