Frog; Crane in sunset



(Bottom) I was walking down a nature trail in a nearby wildlife refuge looking for something to take a picture of and heard something rustling in the grass as I walked by. I immediately stopped and put the camera to my eye and began searching for the source of the noise. I couldn't see anything at first, but then I saw what looked like a snake's head. I began photographing immediately, and getting closer and closer to my subject. After observing the "snake" for a little while longer, I realized that it was actually a frog! I was about 6-7 feet away from it and didn't think I would be able to get any closer, but after much patience and careful walking I was able to get within about 1 foot from this frog and I was able to catch one of my best photos ever!
