two frogs and a snake [View all]

ever go through periods where you just aren't thrilled by any of your work? i'm in one of those periods. but i try to get out and shoot, anyway. i have the scratched up, bloody mosquito bites to prove it.

here are two frogs (possibly the same specimen on two different nights) and a snake. see if you can identify the frog and snake species here...i'll buy a beer for the first person to identify either...but you gotta get to costa rica to collect your prize:
