Tales of a South Downs fox... and other ramblings

Gaping Frog and a couple of other pictures

Absurdly glorious weather today... somewhere around 28°C. Almost too hot and not in fact ideal photography weather, but the sun does produce great end of day light which is when I captured one of the neighbourhood cats prowling around the garden. It's really not as stern a moggy as it's pretending to be in this shot.


The warm evenings are a boon for the amphibians, and I spotted this frog hunting along the edge of the pond tonight.


The final (and title shot) is a first for me. I must have taken thousands of photos of frogs over the years, but this is the first time I've caught one 'mouth wide open'. A lucky shot... but one I'm pleased to have got.

Wow, almost a snake's gape!

That cat looks like it owns the garden.

That cat looks like it is plotting to kill the photographer left scared

Pretty little Moggy and she has a sweet face, even though she looks thoroughly put out that she is being photographed. And the frogs! Delightful little creatures.

I love your photos, as always.

Adele, that's one of several regular felines that we have. They're nice, but I wish the foxes were as frequent.

I was happy to get the frog like that. bigsmile

Marilyn, thanks. It made a change to get some 'action' shots of the frogs.

Karen, thanks. That cat is around a lot and loves rolling around in the dust! I'm glad you liked the frogs too!
