Default Spring has Sprung.... some garden shots from today!

Ah the wonders of procrastination! I'm supposed to be doing my dissertation, but there was such a noise going on in my pond that i couldnt help but take my camera outside for a play! The toads and frogs are spawning at the mo and so there are all manners of squeaks and grunts going on!

Here are a few of my favourites, all taken with a Pentax W10 point and shoot, no cropping or editing of any of them. Constructive critacism very welcome!

















This frog was such a beautiful red colour, but seems to have a deformed pelvis...





and now some general garden ones i took at the same time...
