AS Aussies shiver through our coldest of months of the year this resourceful frog has only one thing on his mind. Sheltering from the pouring rain.

Proving that even amphibians can get tired of bad weather this incredible little frog decided not to let himself get down about the rain - instead choosing to keep dry.

Indonesian photographer Penkdix Palme, 27, captured the moment this tiny tree frog sheltered from the rain in his neighbour's back garden in the city of Jember in East Java, Indonesia.

The tiny amphibian clung to the stem for around 30 minutes while wind and rain lashed at his precious shelter.

The five centimetre frog appeared even to angle the makeshift umbrella towards the direction of the fierce downpour.

Huge droplets of water gathered at the bottom of the leaf and surrounding branch while the clever frog remained dry.
