Frog
Species Unknown

At Sundance Garden there is a tiny man-made "frog pond" about 8 feet(2.5 m) in diameter and not very deep. It is surrounded by rocks and flowers. I tried many times to creep up on the frogs un-noticed but this was the only semi-successful attempt. I post this as part one of a two part story. Just a small frog sitting on a rock in the middle of a little pond getting some Sun and eating insects. Life is good. Part two tomorrow.

Hi Jim,

A wonderful capture of this frog sitting alone on the rock in the middle of the pond. The reflections in the water are just wonderful. A very unusual shot and very well done.

Hi Jim, lovely frog in a beautiful composition with splendid colors, very well done, ciao Silvio

Excellent capture of him soaking up the sun. Interesting background with the lake and the reflections. I'm wondering if this isn't a young bullfrog. We use to have them in our pond back when I was just knee high...

Well done.

TFS!

Hi Jim,
A lovely capture of this frog. And from its color it looks poisonous. Not sure what species it is. But an excellent capture. Thanks a lot for sharing.

A lovely little frog!
Out there...on his little island, he seems so small, doesn't he? (or she)
The surface of the water is interesting...love those ripples.
Did you delete a photo? I thought there was another photo after your skipper.

Hello Jim,
Even though the froggy is turned away from us I think he looks great sitting there on the stone in the middle of the pond. I love the reflections and movement in the water and the colours are beautiful.
TFS and regards, Ulla

Hi Jim,
i like this very much, the splashes of orange around the frog in the water makes this a very attractive image. Nice light and good focus.
