Reptile

We have spent a lot of time in the garden this week, and one of the sources of entertainment has been the handful of frogs that inhabit the pond. From their acrobatic attempts - sometimes successful - at leaping into the air to catch insects, to their baleful stares, and their hilarious attempts to negotiate their way across the giant trampoline that is the bird net covering the pond.

It is clear that frogs are vain creatures, as they do not bat an eyelid at having their photograph taken, however close up, and even with flash.
