The Bullfrog silently surfaced while I was watching over a portion of the Haines-Seville. Slowly I swiveled the camera. After allowing me to fire a few images, with a kick of its strong legs the frog disappeared beneath the surface.
The frog was lucky that it was I who was near when it surfaced rather than the heron. Otherwise what began as a pleasant summer morning would have turned deadly.
Such is the way of the wild; death for one is a satisfying, life sustaining meal for another

I found you through Rich's site. Great capture on the frog. You have some really nice wildlife images here. I'll check back. I too used to shoot minolta and now I shoot a canon.
ReplyDeleteCheers
Wonderful shot of the frog.
ReplyDeleteThe way of the wild, maybe you get used to it, but I do not think I want to watch it. It's fine if it doesn't happen in front of me. I cannot even handle it when the cats catch a mouse when I am around.
Cool image and true post. Those animals just go about their business.
ReplyDeleteLucky indeed! I love the reflection. The waves look like silk.
ReplyDeleteFabulous capture....and the ripples in the water are awesome.
ReplyDeleteSalty: Another great shot from the wetlands of the frog. It is really a neat capture.
ReplyDeleteI can feel the silence and the early morning peacefulness of the wetlands. The ripples do look like silk.
ReplyDeleteI guess you could really say I like this shot.
great catch of the frog.
ReplyDeleteExcellent.... and the green Heron in the posting below is another true 'county capture classic'
