A Mad Tea Party

So true..

Got this in an e-mail forward. Pretty Epic!

Had a weird evening after many days.

Rain, thunder, lightning and a wonderful cloud cover that seemed to end abruptly just before the horizon.

These shots were taken at 7pm, it was pretty dark outside and I had to use my window-ledge as a make-shift stand /tripod.

Both shots were taken together, except I played with the contrast and exposure settings for the 2nd one, while the first one was pretty much how it looked.

Hope you like ‘em.

Gotta love people who know exactly when to click!

Don’t think I need to explain why I just HAD to share this…

I thought this was quite an exceptional photograph.. and the uploaders comment is priceless!

This is a Cuban tree frog on a tree in my backyard in southern Florida. How and why he ate this light is a mystery. It should be noted that at the time I was taking this photo, I thought this frog was dead, having cooked himself from the inside. I’m happy to say I was wrong. After a few shots he adjusted his position. So after I was finished shooting him, I pulled the light out of his mouth and he was fine. Actually, I might be crazy but I don’t think he was very happy when I took his light away.
