2. I nearly stepped on him as he hopped across the path.
I went black and white because I wanted to show it as some predators might see it. Many animals, predator and prey, have different color abilities.

I used to love catching toads in Houston when I was a kid.

8. nice contrast, Alfredo
I'm not even sure if it's the contrast, but something about the photo allows me to relax my eyes and not see the frog until it resolves itself out of the background. Anyway, nice picture.

9. Thanks. That's why I went B&W. The patterns and bumps
break up the shape. It is camouflaged against the predators that can see color and those who are totally or partially color blind.
