The Daily Dozen feature on National Geographic, edited by photo editor Susan Welchman, is a treasure trove of neat "Your Shots" photos submitted by the magazine's readers (a selection of which will actually appear on the magazine itself - talk about awesome!).
I particularly like this one, submitted by James Snyder who wrote:
This is a Cuban tree frog on a tree in my backyard in southern Florida. How and why he ate this light is a mystery. It should be noted that at the time I was taking this photo, I thought this frog was dead having cooked himself from the inside. I'm happy to say I was wrong. After a few shots he adjusted his position. So after I was finished shooting him, I pulled the light out of his mouth and he was fine. Actually, I might be crazy but I don't think he was very happy when I took his light away.

Seen in the light of today's trends, "Frog Light" might be a bright idea...maybe even ultra light.
Frogs being lightweights as reptiles goes, would make a shining example for any weight watcher.
The little bright fellah even managed to shed some light on to the Christmas tree ornament industry and it's fare from bright future....
Hope this helped illuminate the matter a little

in my eyes this is an interesting moment in time captured by the creator, no matter the medium used to convey it. i personally love a bright frog photo.
Still dont get the white lights and red frog part? Photoshop anyone?
(Sorry about that)
stupid frog...lolA!
By the looks of his eyes and posture I believe he thought he had made quite and accomplishment.
"Frogs being lightweights as reptiles goes"
I think you'll find frogs are amphibians my friend ;-)
wonderfull

As for this being photo shopped-No one cares if you think that or not. Stop trying to get attention and bring people down by falsely accusing them.
LAME, huh?
maybe the frog thought its a firefly HAHAHA
I'm a guy in Cleveland who's not had mail in years. Please respond?
You should have turned on the audio....I could swear I heard him humming, "You light up my life!"
Should we post this as AN Alternative Christmas....after all, for too long, the holiday has been dominated by elves, reindeer, snow bears, etc. Why not a Christmas frog? Uhm. I guess the picture answers its own question.
Science question....will the light get warts now?
OMG he said...
