Three Legged Tree Frog
by Dale R. Palmer

I photographed this same tree frog some weeks ago and posted the photo on Facebook. At the time I thought he was an ordinary tree frog with four legs but one was under him to break his fall/jump to the siding. Tonight I saw him again and decided to take a photo when I noticed that he in fact only has three legs. We prompted him to jump and sure enough he struggled with only three legs. This is not the ordinary configuration and I feel for him. I suppose an "enemy" almost got him some time ago.

Quite the adorable little fellow. Great detail of the texture of his body.

This totally fits the theme, Dale. Great pose to display his handicap. Although the EXIF doesn't say it, did you use flash?

He is awfully cute, even with only 3 legs. I like the way he "sparkles". Apparently he manages to get along quite well, even with his handicap!

Another terrific cell phone shot! Poor little guy - amazing he has managed so well in his condition. Good choice of shot for the theme, Dale.
