If Looks Could Kill

He was not impressed with my camera! :)
He DOES look cranky, doesn't he? Usually frogs and toads have that natural permanent- smile.

@bobfoto Nah, I think he hates all cameras....he squealed like a little girl when I picked him up and then he peed on me! :)
June 11th, 2011  
@bluemoon - they all do that.... our Toads release a toxin if you squeeze 'em too hard!

He may not be impressed but I am. Great colors. Love those eye ridges. I am gathering a collection of frog photos. ;-). So much better that three feet of snow and ice!
June 12th, 2011  
Great close-up, certainly looks grumpy!

Frogs and turtles jump into the water when one gets too close..to I have never yet gotten a picture of a frog.turtles I managed a few.

June 13th, 2011  
Wow! What detail! Amazing shot!

Paula..thanks for all your comments. I wanted to post my answer to your profound question here to be sure you got it. I don't stay up at night thinking about them, but i do dream about them. It is very hard to stay detached. I feel very bonded with some of them and find myself in pain when i see that they are not taking care of themselves. there is a homeless man who live in the hillside down the street and when i drove to the market this AM..i saw that he was getting arrested. I am sure a neighbor called because they were scared and did not want him living in the bushes in there neighborhood...but i....wanted to save him..i would have felt the same way she had one year ago..but after this year of 365 NO WAY...i wanted to help him... so yes it is hard and yes i try to stay detached...but i am kinda attached to those venice beach kids and arthure and juan... ohhhhh it is so hard...but i just love doing these street shots..

@robinwarner I had a feeling many, if not all of them, probably got under your skin and stayed with you long after the shot! You've found your calling doing street portraits.....your ability to connect with people shines though in each and every photo!

Sorry to bombard you with so many comments tonight....I'm behind as usual and trying to catch up! :)
June 14th, 2011  
no i was thrilled that you even stopped by ...means so much to me.
June 14th, 2011  
Thank you Paula. Your ideas even if you are of two minds always help me. I think I may delete the bud and put it in a second album to see how it looks. You are a great 365 pal.
June 14th, 2011  
Great shot even if he was a bit upset.
June 14th, 2011  
Amazing capture.
