Didn't even mind me taking him inside for a froggy photo shoot.

These guys weren't paying too much attention to me! They were getting busy in the pond in Franklinville.

you mean toads!

[PlayingKoi]

Yes, they are toads. Still a great shot!

[WNYresident]

Toads get horny to, just not frogs

[WNYresident]

Nuts!!! It was a toad not a frog I took a photo of. :)

Beautiful pics!

You've got some serious talent.

I LOVE Amphibians so WHERE ARE THE NEWTS/SALAMANDER PHOTOS?!

Used to have pet Newts.

Come spring, the woods in Franklinville will teaming with those orange guys. There wer also some really big Salamanders in the pond, but I didn't get a chance to get over to that side. Maybe I'll get some shots in this year.

That'd be great!

Not to be a downer but I remember watching a 'Discovery Channel' or 'Animal Planet' special on poisonous animals and there's an incident on record in which a guy who went camping (in California, I think) made his morning coffee over the campfire and died because a poisonous Newt crawled into his coffeepot.
Very sad and bizarre way to die.

NOT that we have much in the way of toxic creatures in Buffalo.

And remember, class: We evolved from Amphibians (e.g. the Lungfish;The first fish to "crawl out of the primordial ocean")

OK. Enough babble.

I keep all of those things in mind. Alot of people get poisoned by plants in WNY, sometimes fatally. Always good to know what your may touch. I have a battle scar on my right ankle from the rattlesnake I stepped on in the Alabama swamps (north of Batavia, south of Medina). I heard it, we all stopped walking. No noise for a few moments, I took a step and WHAPP!!!! Fortunately for me, it either didn't feel like injecting venom or it had just had a meal because the swelling did not progress past a mark the hospital made in the time frame they set. I think my dad's friend did more damage doing the old "cut, suck, spit". They tell you not to do that anymore. Grand Island and Amherst had had Brown Recluse spider bites over the past few years. Gotta watch out!
