Otto is still hanging out in my garden sink during the day but at night I can hear him sing for the ladies in the trees ;-))
During today's visit to the Västanåfallet waterfall we came across quite a few European common frogs (Rana temporaria) in the basin below the fall. This guy wasn't afraid at all and kept croaking as I got pretty close.
Found this not-so-little frog on the beach after the rains - didn't seem to care that I was there.
Shot yesterday - posting a day late for 365's
A cute little grass frog (Rana temporaria) which me and my son found on a walk along a smoll logging road in the forests west of Härnösand, Sweden in mid-August of 2023.
He was sitting on one of our rocking chairs the other night, and he's probably no bigger than a silver dollar :D
This guy is about 2" end to end, so I added a 21mm and a 31mm extension tube to the 70-200 and slowly crawled towards the pond until he was about 3 inches from the lens. Luckily he realized I am friend to all beasts, and held his ground.

I wanted to post a picture before everyone forgot about me. The summer of 2011 continues to be a constant barrage of insanity for me. And as such, my favorite hobby photography and everything surrounding it has taken a minor role in my life. Key word there being "hobby".
I have countless actual important shit to figure out in the coming weeks. As a result, taking pictures hasn't really entered my realm of thought. This is the first time in years I can say that I literally go a week or longer without even touching my camera! One of these years I swear I will finally figure out how to transform this whole photo thing into an income. In the meantime, I got bigger fish to fry.
That said, here's yet another beach shot from my Oregon trip last month Yes I realize this is the 3rd shot in a row at an Oregon beach I've posted. But I've purposely edited each shot in a drastically different way. Shot #1 I was going for colorful edgy, shot #2 I was going for whimsical magical, and for this shot #3 I was trying to give it an ugly dreamy retro sorta feel.
The shot at hand? My kid jumping in the air in the state of Oregon against the Pacific Ocean with the sun going down (stick in hand).
Past week a colleague photographer and I started our Blue Mission:
A few days a year the moor frog males turn completely blue to impress the ladies and we decided to go investigate this fascinating phenomenon.
Due to our enthusiasm our Blue Search Team was soon extended with another three photographers and we all ended up soaking wet, lying between the frogs.
And a lot bluer than them, since the water was no warmer than 0 degrees. (even covered with a thin layer of ice in the morning, brrr!)
But despite the cold I don't think we could have found a better way to say goodbye to the winter and welcome a new spring..;)
What a frog party it was!
I found this little guy while out looking for birds, It's my first shot ever of a frog, a guy at Kensington was kind enough to point him out for me, unfortunatly i ripped my favorite pair of jeans getting this shot, ahh well.. time to go shopping i guess!
A macro taken a couple of days ago at The Hunter Botanic Gardens (Heatherbrae, NSW; Australia).
Visited the gardens with good friend and fellow flickr photographer Joe Micallef for a macro session.
We'd hoped that there would be lots of flowers and bugs around at this time of year; but struggled to find much that stood out.
I did spot this tiny frog (the only one for the day!) resting in the sunlight on an agapanthus leaf - hope you like it!!
