Posted: Wed Jan 18, 2006 11:56 pmNice shallow DOF ,well shot .Bring out the nine iron 
Posted: Thu Jan 19, 2006 12:00 amNice shot Tim - word of advice, never never use a tennis racket !!!!
My dad talked me into it when I was quite young, and I never quite got over it (took forever to get the toad guts out of my hair) !!!!!
Seriously though, if you tickle him gently under the throat, he will talk to you and purr like a kitten !!!! (and yes this is true )

Posted: Thu Jan 19, 2006 11:13 amNice ones Tim, but can't you find frogs instead When I first moved to Cairns and built a house these things were everywhere. I bought a second hand 9 iron for the specific purpose of relocating them ( I was not about to use one of my good irons). Soon solved the problem.

Posted: Thu Jan 19, 2006 12:18 pmAlright John, hope it stops raining tho.. otherwise a big umbrella will be needed..
Huynhie.. Not yet... because ive got a big pond only a short stroll from my backyard.. we are plagued by Toads... when you walk through my vegie garden the ground scatters with a swarm of hundreds of tiny toadlings... its like a moving carpet!
