I was delighted tonight when I opened the back door to find a spring peeper clinging to the screen. I love these little guys!

Now that I understand ISO better I found that I can take photos inside my not-so-bright office without flash and still get clear images. My horizons have broadened!
bookmark_borderBlack and White Rabbit
My rabbit sitting on his shelf by my desk. When I took the photo I had plans to call it “Whiskers” but most of his whiskers disappeared when I blew out the whites (despite my best efforts to bring them back with Clarity and Contrast). And well, “Eye of the Rabbit” sounded a little too cheesy.
bookmark_borderEastern Gray Tree Frog
This is one instance where subject takes precedence over artistry for me. This (huge!) tree frog was sitting in the leaves right next to my infinity path out back under Moss. I thought she was a toad at first but remembered the coloring of the gray tree frogs. Very glad to have been able to photograph her! I was pretty sure it was a male tree frog we heard calling occasionally from Moss’s branches last summer, and this confirms it. I’m happy to know they’re around.
bookmark_borderHard Day of Play
He seems to have this otherworldly sense of when I’m about to take a picture of him because he will move just as the shutter clicks and most photos I take of him are blurry, goofy faces or a body part I wasn’t originally photographing! I finally got to take my time making this image when he fell asleep with his paw still on the soda bottle he had been playing with earlier.
bookmark_borderJust a Fungi
Interesting mushroom that popped up after the rain we’ve been getting. After some post processing I really like the result.
I also took some cute pics of our ferret that I can’t resist adding:

I went to visit horses and my best photo was of Bob the barn cat. Go figure.
bookmark_borderRabbit in Profile
I caught my rabbit playing on his new box tower this evening (made from Priority Mail boxes glued together, because he likes to practice parkour). Luckily he stayed still long enough for the relatively slow shutter click to capture this profile.
bookmark_borderScreech Owl
This is Tansy, a Northern Screech Owl we met at a raptor demonstration today. I took the best out of all my shots, it was a dark room and they didn’t hold still for very long, and my current lens only goes down to 5.6 when fully extended. Luckily I got her good side (she’s only got one eye)!
