Happy St. Patricks Day!

Camera Critters
"Happy St. Patricks Day!" is this week's "Camera Critters" post. If you want to participate, click on the image above.




I know it's a little early...
However, in a few days a number of people across the globe with Irish heritage will be donning green in the name of St. Patricks Day. So for all of you, here is a little piece of green from Down Under!

These tiny frogs were photographed on Dave's parents farm, 500km north of Sydney. A number of them showed their little faces after a nice rainfall. They were tiny, around the size of your thumb. I only had a standard lens with me, and this was pre-digital. I imagine the results would be a great deal better if I were to shoot them today, armed with my digital SLR. I still think that they are good enough to share in celebration of St. Pats. Day.

Before I leave you, I'd like to give a "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" shout out to one of our loyal readers (Shea) to pass onto his daughter - whose birthday is on St Patricks Day!!

  1. Love the green on green in these photos! A frog for St Pat's Day is definitely a twist! I wonder if there is some Irish superstition we Australians could adopt about frogs?

  10. I have never seen such a tiny one before. :) A very important creature and ought to be protected, lest it upsets the ecological balance.

    To all of you... thank you for the visit and the comments.

    @ Wayne - Good luck nursing that self inflicted headache you'll have ;)

    @ Deryke - I have no idea what the frog is... I may enjoy taking photos of critters, but I'm no critter expert - and I'm not a great researcher ;)
