Default Midnight snack anyone?!

Its close to midnight and I was working at my computer and heard the cats making a fuss at my sliding glass door. They would not stop hitting the glass!!!! So I got up to see what their issue was and this is what I saw:


Terrible shot I know but its really dark at midnight and I had to use the flash which gave the window a glare .. also I need to wash my windows tomorrow I noticed LOL

Even though its a terrible shot ~ its funny as all heck! I giggled for 10 minutes over it. Kermit does not know how lucky he is that someone invented glass

cute....surprised that the frog did not jump out of your frame. Those cats have that wonderful look of intensity....you can see the wheels in their minds spinning as they try to figure out what to do next!

HA HA HA no kidding! Maybe I should mention no toads were harmed in the making of this photograph

I am bummed the photo didn't come out better as that would have been a classic! Live and learn I guess ... I will just keep working at my photography so it doesn't take me 30 minutes to fiddle with the settings on my camera to get everything JUST RIGHT LOL

I think it came out just fine for one of those quickie types. Can't always have time to put makeup on and plan the lighting. If you get my drift.

I know not every shot is going to be an award winner lol
but if I keep working at it my ratio of good vs bad shots should dwindle. This is a bad shot BUT had the potential of being an adorable shot!
I guess you just can't plan those type of candids!

Its simple and effective, tells a lovely story and its a right place and right time moment, and you really can't buy those, I like it, very well done, almost a frogs are friends moment
