Great Captures Kirbinster! All are well composed and clear! The damsel fly is very nice as are the frogs (both of them) and the shot of the turtles is great! looks like that must be the only log in the pond!
Thanks for Sharing these
Michael.

I don't know the exact name of the first frog picture, but I do know it is great. I like them all, but the first one takes the prize.
