I ♥ Faces "Hands On" Fun

Three hands and two feet

Shot this poor little creature on a nature hike with Oma and Chi.
Caught up

It was in Winfall, North Carolina.  The temperature was about 90 - but the swampy area added at least 10 more sticky degrees.  My hair was frizzed by humidity, mosquitoes were biting exposed skin, and my favorite ladies decided to suggest we trod across the fields looking for "nature" (bigger bugs than those attacking us, frogs, toads, four legged prowlers).
How could I resist?

From I Faces: "This week, the focus is off the face and onto the hands.
And, for this week only, faces aren't even required to be in the photo." 
[An aside: Feeling a little bummed these days about contests of all kinds.  I swear, even if I were the only one entering, there'd be some loophole for me not winning.  Hohum. "Pitty party, table for one please?"]

Poor wee thing! Still looks cute though.

Oh my gosh...that's the CUTEST little toad I've ever seen! Just adorable!

I participated in this contest for months and months and never even got honorable mention. I finally just quit playing. Most of the winners are professional photographers anyway (and I can't compete them at all!).

They should have an amateur category.

I love the nail polish with the frog..a great combination you wouldn't expect. PS I never win contests either! :-)

Annette said...

Awesome shot! I think it is hilarious that your frog has an "expression" on his face. Kind of like, "Ok, take your picture, get it over with, then put me down!"
