More.

Sunbeam56 · « **Reply #2 on:** June 01, 2010, 12:39:04 PM »

A few more. I like the clarity. Not happy with the number of steps it takes to post.

WOW! You're dangerous with a new camera! Beautiful shots into your world.

SueSTx · « **Reply #6 on:** June 01, 2010, 01:20:10 PM »

Photos look great. Will Rascal still fit in the trailer?

Gorgeous pics, I'd say that camera is a keeper.

Rascal fits in the trailer --- sideways.

The gate on the trailer is 6 feet wide, so we estimate Rascal's rack at 7 feet - could be bigger. Some day we will have to measure.
This is his seventh year - so theoretically he is now full grown.

What kind of camera did you end up getting? That sunflower is magnificent!! And of course Rascal is so impressive.

Do you use photobucket to post pictures? Whenever I try to upload from my computer, the pictures are too large so on one hand it takes extra steps for Photobucket but on the other hand I have to downsize my pix first to post here. So I don't know what's worse.

Kat · « **Reply #11 on:** June 01, 2010, 03:33:20 PM »

Looking good! Rascal sure is impressive

Holldoll · « **Reply #12 on:** June 01, 2010, 03:41:33 PM »

Beautiful! I love the sunflower. It's great with the dark clouds behind it.

Sunbeam56 · « **Reply #13 on:** June 01, 2010, 03:54:15 PM »

Its a Cannon easy shot... 10Mp and 10x zoom.

I'm particularly impressed by the clarity of the details in the sunflower. Some of it was the approaching thunderstorm contrast, but a lot of it is the camera.
The photos are a series of experiments... some on auto focus, some not, some zoom (the tadpoles), some not. I was experimenting.

Rascal, in addition to having a nice rack, is very tall.
I love the way he runs. He runs, not like a cow, but like a deer. Light and on his toes.

But he only runs when he's mad... so its a relative thing.

Very good pix. Sounds like a fine Camera. Expensive?
What kind of tadpoles? if they are not Bullfrogs Id like a few

I got a little better price at Sam's Club.

I don't know what kind of frog those are. We have Rana Pipiens (leopard frogs), tree frogs (Hyla cineria), several kinds of "chirping frogs" (Eleutherodactylus). But I can't tell the similar sized tadpoles apart. $:-\$

I know they aren't bullfrogs, because of the small size. They are smaller than the nail on my pinkie finger.
That photo was taken to test the zoom.

Savannah, are those ducks staring at what I think they are?

Indiana Karen · « **Reply #17 on:** June 01, 2010, 07:09:14 PM »

Wow, nice pictures. Love Rascal, those horns are impressive. The sunflower for some reason reminds me of a lady looking into the sun with the wind blowing her hair.

Jerry · « **Reply #18 on:** June 01, 2010, 07:19:09 PM »

As a kid in PA I loved playing with leopard Frogs, They were everywhere! None here!

Holldoll · « **Reply #19 on:** June 01, 2010, 08:04:06 PM »

Not to high jack your thread Savannah, but Jerry I have LOTS of tadpoles! I'm pretty certain they are Pacific Tree Frogs

Great photos. Visited my brother a few years ago in Dallas and he took us to a variety of places he thought we would love, and did but I was pretty amazed and wanted to keep going back to this one gas station in town that had several of the HUGE LOng horns right behind it. What keeps them from tipping over!

GREAT shots Savannah! Can't wait to show JAG the pix, especially Pokemon!

Indiana Karen - Wow - I had the SAME thought! A lady looking into the wind. Very neat. Go, Savannah, go!

Ditto! Savannah you are on to something here... photography that evokes metaphors and emotions. Neat!

HOWELL · « **Reply #24 on:** June 02, 2010, 07:36:45 AM »

Savannah it is not the camera you are a talented photographer...those pics are awesome...

Sunbeam56 · « **Reply #25 on:** June 02, 2010, 12:34:46 PM »

Scott -
any water hyacinths on my property would be entirely native, occurring without the intervention of ought but God's hand. I am shocked that you would think otherwise!

Certainly I would not transport such a pestilent weed.

Jerry · « **Reply #26 on:** June 02, 2010, 04:28:34 PM »

More hi jacking I have had eggs of the Pacific tree frog. but the buggers mature and leave,

Where they go is beyond me. No water close!
If your stick, id love some!

Holldoll · « **Reply #27 on:** June 02, 2010, 05:11:20 PM »

Jerry - I'm going to be emptying them out of the incubator before they start eating my fry.

I will be happy to mail you as many as you'd like for just postage.

Julles · « **Reply #28 on:** June 02, 2010, 07:26:19 PM »

I don't think you can successfully mail frog or toad or any other amphibian eggs, for that matter. They are so delicate, and they hatch so quickly, you are inviting disaster.

Jerry, I have caught and transported to my pond quite a number of green tree frogs, and loved the sound of their calls - for about two nights. No matter how many I release here, and how many times I have done it, and how good a home I offer them, they always make their way to some other abode.
