Pond Life

Schitterende opname van de paddentrek.
Prettig weekend, Frans.
Deze opname kun jij ook goed gebruiken voor HFF :-))

Great ACTION shot Keith.

You‘ve captured them in a very intimate moment, Keith ! :-))) !

Amazing photo, Keith. Lucky you spotted them with their excellent camouflage.

WHAT A GREAT SHOT, KEITH!! As you say, it's perhaps not artistically the finest but WHO CARES?! Look at what you captured?! I have never seen such a sight, you lucky stinker! And I can totally picture your precarious position and balancing act--it can be a very wobbly affair, can't it! I have found myself losing the battle and flopping backwards to land on my backside, sometimes with a fine soaking ack! :D But the camera remains aloft! :D Usually it's a knee down in front or I'll fall to the side but usually it's just loss of balance enough to create a madly blurry picture! :D Anyway, well done...it's so amazing to see the difference between genders!

You did well to spot them Keith. They have superb camouflage! If the smaller is the male, I am wondering.....maybe I should look it up ;-) Such an interesting shot and thank you for sharing. All the signs have gone up in Ashmore around the pond to be careful of the Toads. Literally hundreds at a time make their way to the pond!

Time to see your offering of their antics too then Rosa :)

Haha, I couldn't possibly Herb!

Excellent ! J’adore

A little out of balance here, in more ways that one Keith :) Nature quite often defines the female species as the bigger tougher sex - just check up on spiders and ants. A great find and catch here. Well done.

Keep safe. Herb

At least the female doesn't eat the male afterwards Herb..........unlike some other species!

Looks like the male is determined but I would guess he's got his positioning all wrong ... and she just looks tolerably fed up!

Lucky you didn’t slip into the pond!

Me too................my wife would have fallen about laughing :-))

Sex is everywhere!
It's springtime
Very beautiful, Keith

Thanks very much everyone..................greatly appreciated..!!

Hij heeft zich goed beschermd achter die stronken Keith !

Well spotted and a terrific capture Keith, not the best weather for a tender moment ;-)

Compliments, you did well under the circumstances! I'd have trouble getting down on my knees and more getting up again;-)

Thanks Gudrun.

I try and avoid getting too low nowadays...........but I had little choice here. I should have taken my bean bag with me to rest the camera on.

Ein Foto bei vollem Körpereinsatz ;-)
Das Ergebnis kann sich sehen lassen. Es zeigt die Kröten gut getarnt in ihrer natürlichen Umgebung.
