Description
Every year there is always a mass exodus of tiny froglets at a local wildlife centre. At just 1 or 2 centimetres long they are difficult to spot individually, but when moving en mass it can appear as the floor itself is moving. I had captured images of these tiny froglets many times before, however I had always wanted to get an image of one inside one of the old leaves that usually litter their path. Early one morning when I knew the frogs would probably be at their highest concentration i set off to get my shot. After very slowly and carefully making my way into the migratory path I set up with an almost constant stream of frogs around me. Scanning the area for likely subjects I noticed a cluster of old leaves that looked just right. It didn't take long to get a few shots of individual frogs crawling through the leaves and I was happy and ready to leave the frogs to their buisness. Luckily, I decided to have one last look around and spotted what would be my favorite image, one of the leaves had two little frogs sitting in it. While they probably weren't, it gave me the impression of them both huddling together while resting on their journey. I quickly snapped off some images before they moved on, happy to have got not only the shots I was after, but a two for one bonus.
