Kurt had so much fun messing with my profile. But after all that effort, I couldn't make him immediately change everything back. When the time comes, however, he better change it all back. I definitely don't want to do it.

I took this one and think it turned out nice.

[Iratus ranunculus]

The focus may be a little bit off, but I found this little guy in a rotting log that I broke apart to get at the termites. About 7 mm long, this was taken under a dissection scope with camera equipment.



I am pretty sure he is Plethodon elongatus. but I cannot know because I dont know the exact collection locality.

[Kurt]

But thats not a frog. Looks like he is in a fire. Perhaps, he is a actually a Salamandra salamandra.

well this one was actually taken with a nice PAS, a Canon Power Shot SD790IS. with the digital macro feature. Normally I use my DSLR, which is a Canon XTI. And thanks! I like this shot as well!

Oooh, so many goodies this month!
Here is my entry of a very tiny (quarter size) Bufo Americanus ( I believe ).

[Iratus ranunculus]

No no. I took the image on a small section of the rotting wood I found him in. He was inside a little acrylic box turned on its side, under the lens of a very nice dissection scope with camera equipment attached. The focus however was so fine that it distorted what was in the background, giving it a really cool fire effect.

If you must have frogs, I can of course oblige, as I am a competent wildlife photographer.

Yeah I don't think the salamander qualifies for the frog photo of the month :P.

[Iratus ranunculus]

Yeah I don't think the salamander qualifies for the frog photo of the month :P.

Hey, people here keep other amphibians...

Hyla versicolor found calling and amplexing on a road.
