These shots were taken at the lily pond on the grounds of the beautiful Ferrari Carano winery, which we visited a few weeks ago. This large frog was so still that we thought it was a garden statue; however he hopped away when my friend, Georgia, started tossing (very small) pebbles his way. Yes, we (I) screamed. . .


Beautiful shots. Looking forward to seeing what Topaz Impression does for the water lily.
I’m an animal lover, honest! I threw a pebble NEAR the little guy! Anyway great capture Melinda!
Cannot believe YOU took a picture of a frog!!! Love the water lilies!
Love the frog and the water lily is beautiful too. It looks illuminated from inside. Great composition and processing Melinda!
