I’m a “catch and release” kind of person for most living things. When my administrative assistant came into the office and told me there was a tiny frog in the church’s vestibule, I looked for a way to get it back into a more natural habitat. I managed to capture the miniscule frog in a 12 oz translucent, plastic cup and placed my camera phone (Moto X) on top to secure the frog. The thought occurred to me, “Take a picture.” Thus, mini(malist) frog in a cup.
Here are the before and after capture/release photos.

Nice take on the subject (and the challenge) 🙂

Good catch (in more than one way.) That first photo fits the challenge perfectly.

Thank you, Janet. It was really an unintentional “catch” but thought it was worth hanging unto for just such a challenge. I really appreciate your affirmation.

Thank you, Christina. I guess the frog was small enough to have a bit of cuteness about it. 🙂

I am a catch and release person, too. I even catch and release bugs from our home to the outdoors… except ticks. When I find a tick on my daughter’s cat, I remove it and flush it. Bleh.
Great images! Love that top one for the challenge!

I would have to agree with you, Rene. There ate some insects (flies, mosquitoes and ticks – potential disease carriers) for whom I show no mercy.
Thanks for dropping by, again. I appreciate your affirmation.

That is a wee cutie~!
Very much a ‘catch and release’ guy myself, too, but I draw the line with mosquitos—with them it’s sight, aim, and squelch with no holds barred. heck, I even float nasturtium leaves in our outside water buckets (for birds and critturs) as liferafts for ladybugs and things (it works~!).
