    Smile Hello from fellow frog admirer and artist!

    Hi everyone!

    I'm new to the forum; I haven't actually participated in many forums but I'd like to get to know more about frogs and the amphibian community. I live on a 128 acre hobby farm with the majority of it being untouched woodlands. It's home to so many frogs and toads (mainly toads)! It's been a journey to photograph the many varieties I've seen in way of color and pattern. This time of year we're watching the trails for thousands of tiny toads just now hopping out of the pond.

    I've never owned a pet toad, though I've had chameleons and a bearded dragon. I show my admiration for the frogs and toads through my art instead. I paint and draw photo-realistically, and I sculpt realistic frogs and toads from gourds. I hope it's not spammy to share my art, excuse me if it is! I uploaded one of my gourd sculpted frogs, a Red Pacman frog. My others are at gourdfrogs.blogspot.com.

    I look forward to being inspired by all the other amphibians here and their keepers!
