'Hanging On'

Lake Frederick, Virginia

With the high temp today (94 degrees), we had a thunder & lightning storm that drove this frog to climb the 10' wall to the edge of our open back porch for cover.
This was as close as I dared get so as not to spook him. Believe he is a Gray Treefrog (Hyla versicolor).
If you look closely, that is probably a small bee on his right rear foot.

Looks a bit weary from the climb as he would be in that heat!
