Thematic Photographic: Close-Up
Carmi meant for this week’s theme to be macro photography, I’m certain, but I think he’ll cut me a little slack for the picture I’m submitting. You see, it was 3:30 in the morning, and I’d finally found batteries for the camera, and had gone outside to shoot the red ring encircling the moon, when I heard a splash.
At first, I thought one of the dogs had fallen into the pool, but that wasn’t the case. It also wasn’t a skunk, or one of the raccoons that thinks my swimming pool is it’s personal bathtub. It was frog. I watched him swim the circumference of the pool, pausing now and then, and finally I realized that he couldn’t get out.
Of course, I snapped a few pictures before reaching for the skimmer – he backed right into it, and didn’t jump out until I’d set it gently on the ground.
I think it’s the best shot I could have taken without actually getting in the water.
Anyway, meet Froggy:
These guys are so cute, aren’t they? It sounds like he was a happy frog when you rescued him. A super closeup!
good karma!

I love frogs. We used to get them in our pool too before we screened it in. Your tile looks a lot like mine.
Thanks for the visit.
That’s a funny looking frog :D. I’ve always liked frogs, but tree frogs are my favorite.
