While strolloing around Belton House Lake last Sunday, we spotted a female toad with her mate on her back - swimming to the bank to lay her eggs.As she came closer, she spotted me and dived down and layed on the bottom of the lake, being me I photographed this sequence as Ive posted using my Macro Lens also 100 to 300 lens.
We walked away a few paces and came back, but she toad and her mate had swam into the reeds.
At a later time I will post the sequence of our frog sporn in our pond, they are now at Tadpole stage.
It was a very successful day for photographs on Sunday around Belton, the Duck (and more to come ) was from Belton.

At first glance, I thought it was an airborne frog. Amazing clarity, Imac!
(singing) Love is in the air...
Great toad shots... itwas not until I saw Peters toads I realised what beautiful eyes they have.. I must try to get a good clear shot of a toads eye.
Great Photos of the frogs... and the duck in the post below this one.. I enjoy all your shots!
You had great photographic luck at the pond. Great photos all!
Life must go on, if only they could have had a little privacy :):)
Excellent shots Imac. We must be a little behind you here in Pa, our frogs and toads have not began to spawn yet.
AWESOME

As usual a great sequence of shots!!!
Awww cute!
You're so very talented Imac!
Keep those great shots coming!
There is always one hangers on. Your toad photography is great but then you have one of those magic cameras I bet.
Find out why their mommas swooned looking at the pictures, and stuffed crisp $10,000.00 bills into my shorts and hung the keys to a Smart car on my ear. Abraham Lincoln in Brookville, Ohio.
Brilliant photos!
Am really impressed with these photo's.
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing.
