Ha,
What a great capture, looks like he’s trying to eat a balloon!.
Krys Bailey replied
Thanks Linda! I’d never seen frogs do this before – they were all at it – boys and girls!! Timing was difficult though to get the balloons at their most inflated point! Made good use of the multi-frame setting! ;o)

Excellent capture. Must have taken ages to get “the” shot. Well done.
Krys Bailey replied
Thank you! The multi-frame function helped! ;o)

Now that can only be attractive to another frog. But he looks focused (as is your image)!! I wonder if his courting was successful. Great shot!!
Krys Bailey replied
Thank you! Who knows if it was successful – it was all over in a flash, rofl! ;o)))
chijude
I hope he was … he looks so ernest! ... and almost fit to burst with effort!! If he was meant to bring roses I believe he would have supplied a dozen red long stemmed!
Krys Bailey replied
Hahaha!!! Who needs roses? Whats wrong with a bit of pond weed, rofl??? ;o)))
Christopher E...
talk about the timing!! capturing this guy with it’s mouth blown out is perfect timing
Krys Bailey replied
Thanks Chris! There were lots of frogs doing this puffing thing all over the place so I had plenty of willing models! ;o)

Magnificent photo Krys, and perfect timing. I bet this little fellow is a prince charming among his kind.

I just noticed the other frog in the photo serving as a lilly pad. This would be a good image for the theme of team-work :)

That’s crazy! I’ve never seen that before…what a great shot!
Krys Bailey replied
Thanks Dawne! I’d never seen this before either! ;o)
Andy Mueller
What a cool shot, great title. What was the frog to the left of the main subject doing? I can see a leg and an eyeball.
Krys Bailey replied
Thanks Andy! Well the way these frogs were leaping around the pond, I think he just happened to land on the poor thing underneath! :o)
Roslyn Lunetta
great shor! funny think here on this side of the big pond our frogs go “ribbet, ribbet” I love the accent on yours :D…ooohhh and don’t tell him he is edible or they all might just fleeeee, so drop that garlic and back away from the pond….
Krys Bailey replied
Hahaha! Well I wouldn’t eat one! Oh yes, and he croaks in the Queen’s English! ;o)
digitalmidge
Hehe, this is so funny and cute, Krys…love the balloons ;-)
Roslyn Lunetta

Krys Bailey replied
Yeuch! Do you do Frog-Flavoured icecream???? ;o)))
Roslyn Lunetta
mmmaaayyybeee, depends on who my current audience is :DDD or if someone said, here try this…..and anyway missy who mentioned edible in the first place rofl!!!!
Krys Bailey replied
I was only saying that the frog is titled “Edible” – I didn’t say you HAD to want to eat him…....... do you have any French in your ancestry, peut etre? ;o)
Cynthia Adams

I don’t know how I missed this one, Krys, but it’s absolutely delightful! My grandson Sebastian loves bubblegum and he always wants to see me blow bubbles. If I ever produced a double header like this, he’d be flabbergasted! Wonderful shot, Krys!
