Pixel (the red-eyed tree frog) learns to skateboard

Pixel (the red-eyed tree frog)  learned to skateboard,  thanks to my friend Edie who found him the perfect sized skateboard. As you can see he had a blast! He really got very good very quickly, even able to transverse the railing on the stairs (fourth photo). At one park, see the third photo, he had a lot of on lookers, haven't they ever seen a red-eyed tree frog skateboard before? I also think he was very proud of how much AIR he got at the last skateboard park (see the last image). Tomorrow Pixel is going canoeing, he really likes Connecticut!

Frog friends

Pixel (our red-eyed green tree frog) seemed lonely and we contemplated getting him a friend (but are worried that he would eat it or fight with it).

Pixel  would have preferred that his friends were from "The Amazon", rather than from Amazon.com. I think that while he enjoyed the company he thought that his new friends were a little rigid, LOL.

Frog on a frog

This little red-eyed green tree frog has given me countless hours of enjoyment!

I got a frog planter/candy dish for xmas, so Pixel the Frog had to test it out first...

Fun with my light tent

I have been having a lot of fun with my light tent -- flowers, critters, etc. 

     

 I raised this Monarch caterpillar and photographed him along the way during his transformation.
