For me the perfection of a picture sometimes is not the most important. Would have some other frog pictures, but for my thoughts i preferred this one, as he is looking directly into ones "eyes". So i did not take away the grass stripes, but left them. Especially when taking pictures of animals, i always try to not disturb them in whatever they are doing. That is also a main point.

In German we got an Idiom saying "Sei kein Frosch", which literally translated means "Don't be a frog", meaning "Don't be a wet blanket" or "Don't chicken out".
Underneath you find some more informations about Frogs.
The name frog derives from Old English frogga, abbreviated to frox, forsc, and frosc, probably deriving from Proto-Indo-European preu = "to jump". About 88% of amphibian species are classified in the order Anura. These include around 4,810 species in 33 families, of which the Leptodactylidae (1,100 spp.), Hylidae (800 spp.) and Ranidae (750 spp.) are the richest in species.
The use of the common names "frog" and "toad" has no taxonomic justification. From a classification perspective, all members of the order Anura are frogs, but only members of the family Bufonidae are considered "true toads".
Frog populations have declined significantly since the 1950s. More than one third of species are considered to be threatened with extinction and over one hundred and twenty are believed to have become extinct since the 1980s. The number of malformations among frogs is on the rise and an emerging fungal disease, chytridiomycosis, has spread around the world. Conservation biologists are working to understand the causes of these problems and to resolve them. Frogs are valued as food by humans and also have many cultural roles in literature, symbolism and religion.
