iPhone Frog :D
By
I have had one of those outdoor hot tubs for about 9 years. Best thing I ever bought. Most evenings I soak my troubles away in the swirling bubbles of warm water. It’s like my meditation time, and I just love it.
Turns out though, that I am not the only one who appreciates my hot tub. From time to time I get the occasional little green visitor. They don’t go in the water (and it’s deadly for them if they ever do).. but they like to sit on the side and enjoy the warmth.
Last night I took my iPhone out to the tub with me… I am reading a book that happens to be stored on the phone. And when I opened the lid to the spa, I was greeted with a big green smile. And me, being me… since I had a camera on the phone, couldn’t resist the opportunity to snap, my new little friend. He sat and watched me relaxing for a short time, before hoping off back into the trees.
I wonder if I will see him again tonight

Wow! Beautiful photo! I am a WordPress photographer too, so I love seeing these kinds of posts. Great job!
Thanks Aaron… I will come check out your work
Wow, great shot! He’s adorable!
He is pretty cute huh
That’s pretty good, especially for a phone pic!
I was surprised at how good the iPhone camera is actually. It takes a pretty good shot. Thanks so much for visiting and commenting
Hi, Traci. Rubicorno is a blog photographer on WP. He shoots all of his photographs on his iPhone. Check him out: This link is to his cemetery photos because I like them:

He explains what apps he uses, etc.
I love your frog! I have a really hard time accepting how good the camera phones are now. I’m way too shaky to use my iPhone camera, but my grandson does. This frog is as good as any camera could have produced. Don’t you think?
It’s pretty impressive to me just how good the phone camera’s have gotten. Now I know what it can do, I might use it more often. I always have my phone with me (but then again, I almost always have my camera too). Thanks for the link, I will go check it out
Your cute little friend looks like a happy camper. What a wonderful photograph. It is a good thing you had your camera with you to capture the moment. Thank you for sharing, This is great! A fun shot indeed.
Thanks so much… so glad you enjoyed it
He almost looks as if he’s ready for story time
Well I didn’t even think about reading my book out loud to him Cowboy.. what a good idea… maybe I will try that if he is there again tonight
Beautiful picture. I have one that visits our kitchen screen. Jay
It’s great to have these little visitors from time to time, isn’t it
It gotta be wonderful to be you! I like what you did with your iPhone!
It is wonderful to be me George… but I wouldn’t mind betting it’s equally as wonderful to be george-b
You got got it Tracie, It sure is, thanks! Have a wonderful Saturday!

Oh how I love the Frog. God’s little creatutres and what they are telling us is so awesome….. “Plunge Into Dreaming, Know where you want to go, Follow the flow. Swim In.”
Very well said dear friend… I was a bit disappointed not to see him again tonight… but I am sure he hasn’t gone too far away
I have a hot tub too, but never had a frog visitor! I have had spiders trying to do the backstroke. I agree it is well worth the buy, it is my peace and sanctry!
Wow.. spiders.. I think I will stick with frogs
That frog looks just super awesome. Such an eye delighting green
Thanks Jen
What an amazing shot! love it…didn’t know that the iPhone makes that good pictures, I have one myself
You will have to try the iPhone camera out.. it really surprised me how good it is
He’s super cool! I love the colors! Great shot. It”s nice to have instant access to capture images; phones have come a long way.
It’s just amazing what my phone can do… I have all my music on it, my books, internet, camera, calendar, calculator, notebook,.. tonnes of stuff… oh… and it even makes phone calls
But seriously Jennifer,, thank you for your comment. The iPhone camera is pretty cool. xxoo
We have, a couple of hours ago, just arrived home after spending the week-end in your state, Queensland, and what were we welcomed by but a green friend sitting on our front verandah who looks very much like the one in your pic…. so cute…
So where is home for you Carolyn? So glad you enjoyed your visit to Sunny Queensland… it has not stopped raining for a week
Home for us is in the beautiful Hunter Valley in NSW.
We feel for you Queenslanders – good old Queensland has really been in the wars lately; or should I say; in the rain….! However; it didn’t concern us because we spent most of the time indoors…. We had a great time…!
Glad you enjoyed your stay. My father was just up from Victoria… Queensland isn’t exactly showing herself at her best right now
I love your green company! Thanks for sharing!
Now that, is sharing!
Sure is…. thanks so much
My boss at the “Big Blog” hollers at all the editors to have a camera of some sort on hand every waking moment. My pocket camera is off being repaired, right now, and I feel the loss every minute outdoors.
I think I am going to make sure that if I ever go anywhere without my DSRL, I will at least have the iPhone with me.
What fun!!! And – such a wonderful image!
Glad you like it Marcie
That is the best type of new friend … he won’t call at all hours, well maybe HE will!! Ribit, ribit! Fantastic picture!
Thanks so much… hehehehe
That’s a really nice photo for an iPhone snap!
The iPhone did good, huh!
Too cute!!! This little buddy is really smiling:)!! Amazing<3
I have that affect on frogs Dina
you do enjoy your life, enjoy your surroundings. beautiful
Yes I do… thank you
Haha what a picture
brilliant. What a joy it must be having a hot tub and even better to have something as beautiful and colorful as that visit 
and what a smile he/she has, enough to make anyone smile
The hot tub was a gift to myself. I have had had back troubles for a long time, and it helps immeasurably. And the little visitors are just a bonus
Cute little thing!
