What Lurks Beneath the Pond Scum by alophoto

What Lurks Beneath the Pond Scum

Look closely, keep alert. Never know where you might find your prince hiding.

The kids were trying to catch tadpoles when I found this full grown version. I wanted a shot before they tried to catch him and when my daughter came with her net, he was gone. "Mom, your photos wreck everything!!!" she dramatically lamented. My argument was that I memorialized him through the photo.

Thanks for all of your great support of my blue eyed dragon fly and my recent kids shots. I've been so busy lately and not much of a presence.
Great timing!

I'm sure he's happier that the camera and not the net got him!

Hey ho, says Roly! All these frogs - what an opportunity! Sit your daughter down by the pool and they will appear again! Each bubble might be a frog's breath! fav

Great top-down shot of Mr. Frog!

All he needs is a princess to kiss him. I love all the back bubbles and floaty things in the water. Makes it look like an illustration almost.

Very cool shot! Fav!

Great shot

Cute story- you'll have to call "dibs" on the things you find before they do. Then you can shoot to your heart's content and they'll have to go elsewhere! Great shot!
August 6th, 2015  
great capture and I love your title too!
August 6th, 2015
