I haven't had much for #FrogFriday this year, but on Wednesday, I spotted this one in the yard.
It just about has to be a Gray Tree Frog, but the skin doesn't seem right -- too smooth and slippery. But maybe that's because it had been hanging out in the wet grass.
Edit: It definitely could be a very young American Bullfrog (see comments). The skin definitely matches better. It may have taken advantage of a rainy night and morning to go on an adventure.

@donray@mastodon.online Hmm... did some searching. Maybe a young Bull Frog. See: http://www.herpnet.net/Iowa-Herpetology/amphibians/frogs-and-toads-2/north-american-bullfrog-lithobates-catesbeianus/
