Visiting With Toad

I have a little toad living in my garden. I have seen him probably a dozen times now, but finally got a picture of him this weekend. After all, he is a little jumpy. The first time I saw him, I almost stepped on him while shooting a flower. Now every once in awhile when I am out looking at my flowers, he just shows up and sticks around for awhile.

Wonderful detail in the toad . . . the texture of his skin is amazing! I guess he likes the pretty daisies!

Great shots of a big toad, love the texture you captured. We have lots of tiny little frogs, nothing like him. Love the thumb also, great angle and color. :o)

Agree, you have shown great texture of the frog--(hope you don't handle the things, just in case there is something to the old saying about getting 'warts' if you play with frogs (ha ha)
I like how in the second one the frog appears to have the stem in its mouth.
What a good contrast with the red and white daisy..
