Came across many Common Frogs around a couple of manmade ponds while out with Flickr friend, Blackcap1000 earlier today. Most of them were in the water gathering with the others but there were some out the water too including this one which was making its way from one pond to another. It seemed a bit wary at first but eventually we both managed to take many close-up shots before we decided to leave it in peace. This is one of the best I managed to get. The first one I've seen out of water this year. Also saw my first Common Toads of the year, but I didn't get any good shots of them. I'm sure I'll see more soon though :-)
These tiny frogs vary from all-brown to almost all-green, with differing degrees of spotting. Is this a Northern or Southern?

4/25/2010: Theme: Jump.
The first thing I thought of was a frog. So here we are. Frogs can jump, if they are real frogs, that is. Unfortunately this one can't. So no motion in this shot.
I placed this silly garden ornament in front of a window, put some artificial grass behind him, lit him and the grass with a spot light on the left and pointed my SB800 at his face from the right.
Danish pastry - a typical one, or traditional :) Not easily found in your local shop but it was a nice search and perfection when I finally found the little bakery that sold them. This was a wonderful flaky croissant-like pastry. I think it ever so slightly sweetened by a little bit of honey. There were seeds on the outside - some poppy and sesame and some other I did not recognize. It's quite large and definitely yummy!
Although resembling a Pickerel Frog (Rana palustrus), including presence of (faint) yellow in the groin area, other characters (greenish coloration on dorsum, rounded dorsal spots, and large size) suggest Northern Leopard Frog (R. pipiens). Both are present at this location, and the two species have been reported to hybridize in the wild. Carlton Pond, Troy, Waldo County, Maine
This male Northern Green Frog can be easily recognized by the size of his eardrum. Males, unlike females, have eardrums that appear to be slightly larger than the size of their eye.
