RIBBIT!
The expression on the frog's face is priceless and the dragonfly looks pretty comfortable there too.
The photographer, Luis Carlos Barriuso, took this adorable photo on a rainy, gray day in the marshlands of Marim, near Bilbao, Spain. "I was surprised when it settled on the head of the frog," said Barriuso of the audacious dragonfly. "I only had time to take a few photographs before it flew off again."
The frog, meanwhile, could not be reached for comment. :)

"It had a heart, and a soul, and eyes to see us with; and approvals and solicitudes and deep sympathies; it was of us, and we were in its confidence and lived in its grace and in the peace of its benediction."
