Beautiful eye (Frog eye?) on that beast. Did you take it with natural light?

Thank you. Yes it is a frog. We made a make shift studio about 11:00pm last night (due to rain, of course) that consisted of a card board box and an old actinic light from an old aquarium. Tonight we reconstructed it and tried to take more pics. Plus I got a new lens from BE so I need to test it.

I really like the toad (huge paratoid glands behind eyes) picture. This is a favorite. Well done Becky.

Thank you. As i said, BE helped me a lot. The plan is for BE JR and myself to keep him so busy teaching that we have a chance (a small one, mind you) to catch up with him.

Thank you for the kind words. I didnt think I would like this macro of bugs and such simply because I didnt want to get close to them. But after some thought I think i will still try to take macro pics of some bugs.
