    Mmmmm. Yummy pictures! Nature is all about hunger. :eat

    I first looked at the pics and wondered where the snow was, then read they were taken in Fla. Silly me.

    That shoveler has seen better days and what a way for the frog to start a day, but such is life in the wild. Nice captures.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"
