I TOLD YOU !!!!
It's like a car crash on the HWY. Everyone slows down for a look. We are all just draw by the stark reality.

Now don't waste time as long as there are frog tadpoles & crayfish SOMETHING will be around dining.

The beauty of nature and the reality of life all caught in one epic moment! This is what comes from knowing your shooting environment and being patient. If the little frog had know what you already knew, the outcome may have been different (at least for him). Wonderful series, Michelle. I also loved the reflections. #10233902
