Pictures of frogs
Ewww, but cool...so, cooewww!
Thats a lot of taddies!!!
Great pics Jinx...what kinda cam do you use?
Today / French Creek
An appropriate place to find frogs.
Thanks Ducks, its a Sony A100.
Absolutely gorgeous - worthy of framing
I also love the utilitarian title - you kept the beauty for the actual photos :)
I'd like to see a picture of a person swimming in that many baby humans...
I smell a photoshop coming. Too bad Ike Is My Cat doesn't post anymore...his photoshops were legendary.
Our place is swamped in tree frogs. This is evidence of thier passing in the morning.
That's really cool Merc. Do you have any pics of the frogs themselves?
Wow - I only got a red cross last time, glad I've seen the picture.
I will try to post some pics after work on Sunday. All of them are green and brown about the size of a half-dollar coin, slimey. At night the sound is so loud you almost can't hear yourself talk.
I grew up next to a creek. I love that sound, of noisy things that live in wet places.
I took video also, when I took these pics, just for the sound. Jim is still trying to get it off the camera though - might not happen. :(
When I was growing up, the creek would be filled with little frog eggs. Now, I never see them. What happened to my frogs?
Maybe acid rain.
When I was a kid, we had a creek in our back yard too. No frogs for some reason, but toads. We used to catch the eggs and watch the polliwogs hatch. On time, one of my dad's students was over visiting. He was a wealthy Iranian with ties to the Shah, who was in power then. Anyway, he wore expensive clothes. Nice guy. Very friendly. I had caught a bunch of polliwogs in the cooler we kept on our back steps for the milk delivery, and was carrying it over to him to show him. Somehow I tripped or something, and I dumped most of this cooler full of scummy water and toad eggs and polliwogs all over his pants and expensive shoes. That was the only time I ever saw him mad, but he soon recovered. And was nice again. He heads an oil exploration company now.

"Those peepers are giving me the creepers." said by glatt jr. one dark night in North Carolina
Frogs all over the world are dieing off in huge numbers. Of course both the greenies and the global warmers were all over it, and very disappointed to find it was a virus.
Ohhh that rocks!! I wanna live in Philly now!!
C'mon over, just don't bring any cane toads.
Evil bastards they are!!!
There was one found last week the size of a mans head!
I should clarify.....not like...LJ's size head or anything, more like Bippy's :)
more like Bippy's
Hold up there Missy !!!!
Jinx said " think like the Nappa hats ontop of those pickup trucks "when talking about LJ's head ,
Damn it!!!! I Can't find a pic !!!!!!
just think what size hat would contain Lj's whit ,wisdom ,and EGO !!!!!
Here is a hint , if I put a 5 gallon bucket over my head it goes to my sholders , can LJ say the same ?????
Sweety, thats what I was meaning...not a fucken monster size toad...like LJ's head, but more delicate and cute like yours!!!!
[COLOR="Gray"]*dig, dig, dig, dig*[/COLOR]
I don'tknow about the delicute and cute , but I ain't got no bucket head !!!
awww.....that really is a cute frog.
man. i missed all the LJ's head bashing that went on in here last week. I wish someone would alert me when i'm being mocked.
*mocks lj's head*
I would never mock Lj's head. He just needs to remember to use just the lips and not so much teeth. hehehe
This frog looks like he is plotting something
He looks like he's saying "exxxcellent" Mr Burns style :D
Wish I could take credit for this one.

Wow Jinx - thats awesome. We dont get sights like that over here!! Great pics.
RK - thanks for that :D
Bigger
And breathing air now...
Keep them coming. I love these pics.
Thanks glatt, I definitely plan to... as long as the tads keep cooperating.
If you look in the muck here where I'm looking you can see white globs. Anyone know what these are?
I was checking out the clear globs, that I at first thought were the old tadpole eggs, but on closer inspection realized that some still have something growing inside: Spotted Salamanders.
zoomed in
Some have hatched but I couldn't find them
Another shot of me trying not to get me ass wet...
White glob
And this guy was just cool looking...
They are fantastic, Jinx.
Kinda spoiled the illusion for me though, here I thought you had trekked out to a isolated little pond....and then I see civilisation in the background.
Aw, sorry ducks, lol.... it's just a puddle, not remote pond.
Normally we do trek around for miles when we're there (
French Creek), but we hadn't planned on being there at all yesterday.
You do realize you're on the hook for the full life-cycle of these guys now?
That's the plan... it's a home school project for the boy. He got it in his head yesterday that they might have sprouted legs and scarfered, so we had to stop by and make sure there weren't any significant changes since Saturday.
How awesome a Mom are you?:)

The secret to a happy life. Don't bother with the unnecessary modesty though. It is a great prize, revel in it!
How delightful!!

It's a hell of a job keeping three kids in line. Especially the big one.
No changes really... but I liked these pics

Home School? No more Upatinas? How's it going?
/could never do it, would kill offspring and eat them
The tadpoles are harder to find now and much more skittish. Still no friggin legs though...
But some people might remember the tiny toads I posted in the close ups thread last spring... Here are a few of this years crop. They are
so cute.
And here's a tadpole hunter...
They are really cute, jinx.
Can you take some pics of the area where this magical pond is please?
I like the world reflected in your ring.
And jungle boy.
Since the tadpoles are getting tougher to photograph, maybe you should capture a couple and keep them in a fishbowl for backup. You can always let them go when they get their legs.

When the kids figure that out on their own I'll probably help them, but I have a thing about animals in cages... I don't know, it just really bothers me.
we have a small fish pond and every year we get a few frogs and craw dads. only have a picture of the frog though.

fooking frogs - excellent jinx!
That's disgusting, they're acting like, like people.
Why it's the Bada Bing, in daylight. :eek:
Awesome pictures, jinx! The polarizing filter makes a world of difference. The ones caught mid croak are my favorite. Nice work with the trigger finger! :) The sound on the video adds so much more, too.

Amplexus is the term for the mating embrace that frogs and toads use to get all those eggs fertilized. [/fact of the day]
Amazing Jinx! Thanks so much for sharing!
Fascinating and fun! No 71 top pic is now my desktop!
thanks jinx!
How many frogs can you find in that picture, limey?
That's like Where's Waldo? of the frog world.
P.S. What happened to the pictures in posts #61 and 63? I guess they didn't pass the censors.
Thanks you guys, I was really happy with the pics... we were there at the perfect time to get the good action.
I don't know what happened to the pics HLJ, they're still in my album, haven't been moved or deleted...
Here's 2 of them.
I think I would just die from cute overload, if I held one of those tiny baby frogs. Thanks Jinx, for sharing the pics.
Them frogs sound like ducks!
Womderful pics and video as ever Jinx. Keep us updated - I never fail to be fascinated by your photography.
BTW, Mr Frog at least takes him time, unlike cats for example.
But he sure leaves a lot of spoodge behind!
GREAT pics! so crystal clear baby!
MOAR!
(do some of Lj real close-up like. Like his nose hair)
WHAT NOSE HAIR?
Sigh... Is there any angle of you that isn't attractive...?! Swoon...

i look like hell from the side, back, offset left, offset right, and above.
straight on from below, though, I'm dead sexy.
Is it wrong to want to lick your chin?
It looks raspy.
What? No frog leg recipe, yet.

ELO. 'Hold on tight to your dreams."
WHAT NOSE HAIR?
Hey, I can see your brain.
P.S. Did you buy those sunglasses in Mexico for $10?
Ah Buster, you got me singing ELO all day!
Helps that a Dr Who episode was based on ELO songs of course...
And had Peter Kay in it.
And M Tennant.
My goodness, a feast for the eyes.
Hold on tight to your pants.
