    What's in YOUR driveway?

    So I come home just now and what's in my driveway, blocking me from pulling into the garage, but this:

    Cool shot Kelly. Looks like you were interupting this toads lunch.

    If I can figure out a way to make an old plastic covered newspaper as interesting as your frog then I'll post a photo of it for you

    Goodness,

    He looks like one grumpy toad! LOL I think the cricket might be a gonner.

    I can't say for sure since I'm as work, but I don't think there is anything in my driveway. Quite boring.

    No, he didn't eat it. They both jumped away (although the cricket jumped away much faster).

    I was fiddling with the saturation and wow, I should have done this in the first place!

    Now that is a much better shot Kelly.

    Intriguing that they are both in the crouch ready to spring look, a bit more area open in front of the cricket would have been nice as a lead out of the frame, but hey, this must have been a quick grab shot, surely.

    Nice work.

    Hee hee hee.... I have a similar version in my driveway, but he's flat and even grumpier.

    great capture though. It looks like the toad is playing the:

    "If I don't move, she can't see me" card.

    Ah yes, Chaos, you know your toads! That's exactly what he was playing!

    I have a little story. When I pulled into the driveway, I hit the garage door opener. that's when I saw the frog. So I hit the opener again to close the garage door so that he wouldn't hop into the garage. As the door went down, I realized that he was ALREADY inside the garage, so I quickly opened it again. The look on that frog's face as that door went up and down between us was so comical! He actually looked completely surprised.
