Boy meets Toad

This was taken last summer..in our backyard pool (we have since gotten a new one, so he can't get in it). They were checking each other out, then...plop, right onto his face. The next photo was actually taken first, then the last one was taken last. With this pool I was actually able to keep the chlorine at a minimum, so I doubt it hurt him (we were in a drought at the time).

Canon rebel xs
f/5.6
1/60
ISO400
flash was used

Very cute image!
I believe this is a frog, not a toad.
