Matt,

I swear that, as the image came up, he blinked at me.

Wonderful stuff, and nice legs ... lunch, anyone?

Excellent shot Mudder

We don't seem to see green frogs around here any more. Cane toads could be the reason

You are obviously enjoying yourself!

Matt - I like what you have shot but I have to ask the question - is the frog real?

There is just something about it that makes me believe it is a model - a nice one tho’

Cheers

Yep, its real .

We get heaps of them at my place at night. I live jut out of town on a 40 acre block. They come looking for the bugs which there are heaps, cannot leave lights on after dark in summer the bugs come straight through the screens.
Here is a pic from my from verander, taken with a Fujifilm s5000( Now packed away as I have my D70).

Thanks Matt - it is so perfectly posed that I thought it might be ceramic.

Your bugs sound like the Newcastle Mozzie.

Heard this story when I first came to Oz - I was told the Newcastle mozzie was so strong that during the night they would blindly fly into the water tank outside your home and in the morning you would have to get a truck to move it back home as it could be up to a mile away!!!!!

Or the guy caught in a hail storm in his car, and when the storm passed he had to get out of the car and lift it on top the hail before he could drive away!!!

Or the guy who went to an agricultural show with a bowl of fruit to exhibit and when he asked someone where to put it they said the tomatoes are over there to which he replied - but they are cherries!!!!

Just love this country

Cheers
