Great capture of this fellow, Linda! I hear thousands of them here at night... hardly ever see one, though. We are not close to any lily-ponds; they hide in the rushes by the streams. This one looks quite handsome and the flower is a beauty! #7834594

Linda- When it comes to frog pictures, which I just love by the way, this has to be amoung the best I have seen. I honestly don't know how you could make it any better. The lighting and clarity are amazing to start with. Then you look at the setting, a, frog, lily pads, a natural. As an added special treat you even got the beautiful pink lily. Now that is way cool. Love how it brings a beautiful color balance to the picture. The various colors of the pads and of the frog are gorgeous. Catching it puffed up is fantastic timing and a thrill to see. Definitions of the features of the lily, the pads, and the frog are amazing.
Phenominal work my friend. Into my favorites.
Have a wonderful day and take care. #7836805

Dianna Murphy August 10, 2009

Swimming with the frogs again I see Linda. Keep this up and you'll get warts for sure. To tell you the truth I'd risk the warts to get a fantastic image like this one. Frogs are just not attracted to me the way they are to you. You're so lucky that way. #7839809

Dr Silly level-classic August 12, 2009

Didn't need to see the name, to know who shot this. Wonderful capture, Linda. :O)
