Very well timed, that shot, Tom. The eyes with the half-closed membrane look amazing.

(2 edits in all) | Aug 17, 2020 14:53 | #18 We have just come out of a heatwave that lasted like forever. 8 days with temps well over 30ºC. The longest heatwave on record. Pfff... It seems going back to colder weather is giving me a boost in energy. Early morning walks are simply lovely. With added benefit that you're the only one out, so no risk of getting infected with Covid-19.  HOSTED PHOTO please log in to view hosted photos in full size.

Timphoto Creme de la Curmudgeon  More info Post edited over 3 years ago by Timphoto. | Aug 17, 2020 16:12 | #19 Tom Reichner wrote in post #19110581  . I've been photographing a couple of Spadefoot Toads this past week. . The species of Spadefoot we have here in eastern Washington are the Great Basin Spadefoot. My favorite so far is this one in which the toad's eye membrane is halfway closed. . I think the Spadefoots' eyes are so beautiful, and the half-closed membrane just helps to draw the viewer's attention to the eye. Taken with the 100-400mm v2 with a 1.4 extender and a 20mm extension tube, because these guys are tiny - only about 1 1/8 inch around. . The eye itself is about the size of a .17 caliber bee bee. . Cropped a bit to show the details of the toad more, and the surrounding sand/sky habitat a bit less.
