A few shots of a couple of frogs and a toad hanging out by my front door one evening last week.

These are all at MFD using a T3i + Canon 100mm USM Macro (so about 12" from focal plane), uncropped.

I see these frogs on my walls a fair bit after a rain:

These toads are around the yard a lot too:

This smaller frog is less common around my house (as far as I've noticed - but sometimes I'm oblivious). Seems to blend into the wall - I couldn't convince it to move to somewhere more contrasted:

Thanks. And a minor correction to what I said in my first post: the smaller frog is slightly cropped (one edge trimmed, just to get rid of some dead space) - that's why it looks more square than the others.

Oddly enough frogs and toads aren't terribly interested in getting close-ups, so I was surprised the frogs didn't move much. The toad had been hopping from spot to spot, but lingered long enough for me to get that particular shot.

Nice shots. Are they on the inside or outside walls? :)

These are on the outside, but occasionally a toad or frog (and more than occasionally an anole) gets inside and I have to guide it back out before the lap dogs discover their new toy. :shock:

;)
