Cascade frog and Painted reed frog?

Nice looking frogs. Did you take the photos with the camera setup we spoke about?

Thats correct JKA. It gives good results but is very unpractical at times - Especially in the field.

Seems to me people don't really care that much about frogs. Just look at these two they are amazing and they play an important role in the eco-system not just as food for reptiles.

I think its sad that we over look these wonder creatures.

JKA many people over look anything that aren't snakes in terms of reptiles no one seems to care for lower order food chain animals.

I must agree there jka, even with lizards and tortoises and that kind of thing are sometimes overlooked. The cascade is a stunner. Good photos as well.

You've been scarcer than I've been on this forum lately! Great shots! When were these taken? PM me with a good idea for a herping trip next weekend...
