Saw this guy while doing a little work around the house. I don't do macros very often so I thought I'd give it a go.

Nice shot :thumb How did you keep'em from jumping away?

I found a little guy like this in my yard and had a hard time catching him. I held him in my hand to show my son Caleb, (almost 3), and he jumped right out of my hands onto my son :rofl it was great.

I ended up putting him in our pond in the back. :D

peace.

Good work :thumb

If you get another shot at it try getting down to his level, instead of from above, JMO though :D

Nice shot :thumb How did you keep'em from jumping away? Most of the time the toads I find around here are pretty tame. They'll let you pick 'em up and sit in your hand. This guy did hop around when I got the lens a little close but he was being fairly agreeable.

I was neglecting some duties assigned to me by me wifey. Didn't want her to take out the whip :whip Hmmm.... on second thought....
