I found this guy while shoveling some sand. They live far in the ground and only come out in heavy rains. Their pupils are vertical like a cat's which makes him look like the most evil toad I've ever seen.

I love him... He can come live in my garden any time.. I have two now, not nearly enough.. They aren't pretty, but they keep the bugs out of the garden.. Nice capture, they are rather shy when confronted.. How did you get him to stay still long enough???

It may be a toad but those are some gorgeous eyes! Perfect clarity in the sand and grass, good shot

Morwyn: This particular species of toad is not shy at all. In fact, a couple of weeks ago my neighbor unearthed the first one I had ever seen and he said it made grumbling noises at him. Aparently they just sit still until you leave them alone and then they hop away. They also secrete toxins from their skin that can be poisonus if gotten in your eyes, nose or mouth. I did some research on them after seeing my neighbor's and I couldn't resist some shots of this one I found today. I have some other shots that are more close up of the eyes that I may post.

What a spectacular shot.. i love how well focussed it is, and from how close you took it. i've never seen this type of toad before. Kinda scarier than most, and if the fairytales were true, would make an interesting looking prince if kissed :-)

Hey, I thought Jesus didn't like churches? Okey, so why do we crowd around with people we barley know or like to worship him?
Nice shot. I appreciate the info. you shared on these also. Never seen one.

When you get the choice to sit it out or dance, I hope you dance...

Hard to say which shot I like better. Both are 10's in my book. Even though it's the same subject, with the focus on the eye in the other one, you set a totally different ton. Love this one, too.

i've seen both of your toad shots and they're both amazing! i like this one better because of the warmer colours.. and the lightning looks even more fabulous on this one! and the grass looks very good on this one, while the green adds a more natural environment...
my compliments for the outstanding composition and the lightning! but the tremendous details deserve the biggest praise! wow.. that eye :) simply breathtaking!
thank you for sharing this great images of this funny little fellow with us! have a nice day :)

Lifes like a maze in which YOU must find the right way out. But at the end, There is All you ever dreamed of. Gods greatest gift to us is His love.
Perfect clarity. The eyes are peircing. The sand humbles him. Beautiful shot.
