Ah yes, lazy sunny days with a net and jam jar catching frog spawn and sticklebacks.

That 400 mm lens really makes a difference ~ the frog photos are terrific.

Oh well, can't have everything.<br /><br />When the Sun does shine the new lens seems to come in to its own and I am becoming very pleased with the results from it.<br /><br />Still no spawn this morning. I can see one frog is still there.Midmarsh Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10980417659811194899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626959970978663576.post-14284362122612714572010-03-20T09:28:03.731+00:002010-03-20T09:28:03.731+00:00Good Morning, John.

Trouble choosing a fav but it has to be the cracking croaking one :-D<br /><br />Great to see you have a pair there too. What a surprise to scroll down further to see your comparison shots. Thanks so much for that. I can see it makes quite a difference. Looking forward to seeing future pics with spawn now!!Shirleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12956905954971466579noreply@blogger.com
