Peter, I have a 75-200mm zoom lens from my SLR film days. This works out to a 112-300mm on my digital camera.

Gerry did you need to shoot at the 200mm setting or were you close enough to to go with a smaller focal length? Peter

Very nice shots indeed, Tim. Before reading this was a frog, I thought you had caught to top of the head of a crocodile... Quite stupid but we don't have a lot of these beasts here.

Thanks everyone,
Frederic and Andy, I had a heck of time getting that shot. There were little ones but I wanted a bigger one. Finally one came up and click. Your right, it kind of looks like a croc. Know this, there is no Steve Irwin here to go wrestle the beast. To tell you the truth I was thinking frog legs for dinner might be more appropiate.

Peter, I shot at 200mm and I was about 15 to 20 feet away before she decided that was close enough. Another interesting thing was my wife was standing about 5 feet behind me with our 2 Siberian Huskies! I guess everyone was in awe of each other.

I guess the doe that I took the picture of the other day has put the word out. Now they want their kids in on the action!
 I just took these this morning.

Nice photo Gerry,
Here is one of a moth I seen today. Not sure what kind it is, but it's purty!
