Geena Annop captures a resplendent Bush frog on a plant stem. Barely an inch high, these frogs rarely jump and prefer to walk along leaves and branches. A critically endangered, tiny-bodied frog endemic to the high-altitude shola-grasslands around the Anamudi peak in Kerala, India. #AGoodPlace

Goodbye David Hockney. What a legend. His paintings blew my mind when I was a teenager, studying art. And they still do. Human creativity is amazing and he took it to an apogee.
