Ay palaka!

photography

I saw this beside the pool this afternoon.  I was so excited grabbing my camera because this toad seem wants to play around, it didn’t even jump away from me when I was aiming my camera at him/her…whatever lol!

I so love my workplace; I described it like a zoo. Last time my employer catches a turkey from the bush, I got some pictures of it, but I was using my cell phone, so the images didn’t turn out well. If only I can take pictures of deer as close as this toad, that would be very pleasing.

No threio, I am still dreaming of that camera, yesterday my employer showed me a newspaper and asked me if that’s the camera that I want own, I said yes and it cost my life. I used my new bought point and shoot camera for that. Thank you!

I had a lot of photos of that toad swimming in the pool but that photo, I think is the best of all. I’m glad that you like my shots :p.

What a cute little bugger. We’ve got two boys, so somebody around our house is always picking up frogs, lizards, snakes, bugs, etc. The hardest part is trying to teach them the difference between the safe and dangerous ones!

MikeWell at least you are the parent of your two boys, they will listen to you when you ask them not to pick anything, the little girl who’s holding the toad always telling me that I cannot control her, and she will continue picking anything.

Thanks for commenting Mike :)

Di ka pala takot sa palaka, he he. Naalala ko tuloy nung bata pa ko, nanghuhuli ako ng palaka tapos ibinibitin ko sila tapos sabay injection! Sadista ano? He he.

Galing mo talaga kumuha ng pictures. (Inggit).
