I had the funniest experience last night before I went to bed.
I was waiting for our kids to come home. The girls had gone to pic up my boy who was working late… finished at 12:00. They had to drive 30 mins both ways to get him. (He normally drives, but the car was having repairs done yesterday, so he couldn’t take it to work.)
Anyhow, at 1:00 I was starting to get a bit concerned that they weren’t home. So I went to the phone in our office, to redial my son’s mobile number (is was on the office phone).
The phone is near the window, and as I looked out, I spotted a tiny froggy (about an inch long). WOW!! He looked so sweet. So (after the phone call, and I found out the kids were alright), I grabbed my camera and took some photos.
And this is what I got….
As I took the shots, I couldn’t really see what was happening, because he was so small, and I turned the light out (as I do for my froggy pics). When I looked in the viewfinder, I was so amazed. It looked like he was pulling faces at the camera!! 
Though, in actual fact, I think he was catching insects. But it made for some good photos, and a great yarn!!!
This still cracks me up!!!
PS. I will have to clean the cobwebs off the window sometime, eh?

You got some great shots of this little tree frog shedding it’s skin. During the process the frog will arch his back and suck in and expand his sides to get the skin loose. He will also open his mouth very wide. Then he will push the skin forward toward his mouth with his feet. Then he will pull it into his mouth to eat it. They will do this every few days. It can take 5 or more minutes.
I enjoyed all your frog shots!
Keep up the good work!
