Taken in the dark with only the Blue Moon light, (an LED which works similar to a black light) this frog seems to be getting used to the idea of posing.

He/She changed position several times but never hopped off while being photographed. Whats more, after installing the light last Friday, I've noticed increased activity with the frogs at night, like they are playing, hopping to and fro, swimming off and coming back up again.

Still celebrating (possibly mourning) our 25th Wedding Anniversary, my wife got seriously intoxicated and after I went to bed swears that this frog let her reach in and pet the little beggar! Could be the lights, or maybe he/she sympathizes with her? Hmmm... ...maybe he's putting the moves on her?

Well, maybe if I could train this one to pose upon command, Budweiser might be interested in funding my laboratory?

Awwwww...that froggy is smiling!!! yep...think he IS gettin' used to you takin' pics of him! i like his little "fingers" too! looks like he's motioning you to come closer! maybe he wanted to give you a kiss! LOL! train him to do that and you can go on the road with Wringling Brothers & Barnum Bailey or whatever they're called! anyway, i can't even imagine tryin' to take this thru glass, at night, and with some unusual light! Kudos, Joe! I couldn't do it! :) Love all the blue and purples in this one!!!! too cool! oh...and huge congrats on 25 years of marriage!!!!!!!! :)

Thanx Sheila. This one is actually looking through the glass in all his/her fat glory. It's hard to clean the glass without scaring the critters (you have to wipe fast, and fast moves still scare them). Of course soap really screws with the nitrogen cycle so thats a No-No!

If you like the Blues Sheila, here's one for you. The focus is really out, but the colors scream the blues! Blue Frog that is...

oh yeah...definitely love those blues!!! must be verrry frustrating trying to take pics of these guys!!! yeah, too bad about the focus on that last one. :( but still, i sure do enjoy lookin' at it! thanks for sharing!!

Disco frogs ! Don't blame it on the sunshine, Don't blame it on the moonlight, Blame it on the frogey......... Looks like you have all the ingredients now Joe they pose, you've got the lighting and photography right, hope to see the finished one soon :)

And every one said, 'If we only live,
We too will go to sea in a Sieve,---
To the hills of the Chankly Bore!'
Far and few, far and few, Are the lands where the Jumblies live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are blue, And they went to sea in a Sieve.

OKay, I'll get their training finished, you contact Budwiser, and we'll use the proceeds to buy out Rosity.

CeeJay, watchit bud - maybe after 25 big ones the better half has got some fairytale ideas mixed up with a desire for a younger model? You might be getting replaced at this VERY moment and not know it..... some quick rescue work might be needed, gang!!! .... (",) btw, speaking of Bud adverts, did anyone see the 'nude ferret' one? (didn't make it to TV in the UK, dunno about anywhere else?) so, so funny.....

Thats alright. She can have the frogs, I'll take the Babe's at Renderosity any day!
