Long way to go

This is the bridge you have to cross in order to get from the parking lot to the beach. Its quite the journey but its so worth it, specially with a sky like this. My friend just happened to be standing still for long enough for this image to work.

Don’t blink

While exploring in Vara Blanca, Costa Rica, Your Shot photographer Sammantha Fisher captured this image of the nocturnal red-eyed tree frog. By day, these amphibians sleep stuck to leaf bottoms. When disturbed, they flash their bulging red eyes to shock predators.

“I had seen a very large waterfall from the roadway that I hoped to explore and get a better shot of,” says Fisher.  “I hiked down a hill into a heavily forested area, making it very difficult to still see the waterfall, and with the daylight fading, I decided to turn back. As I turned around a red-eyed tree frog hopped onto a leaf in front of me, staring right at me. I was able to slowly step away … lifting my camera and taking the shot before it jumped much higher to the next leaf.”
