Hi,

A very varied bank holiday weekend.... when out and about with Brett Lewis you are almost guaranteed an encounter of the Herpetological kind....

This Female posed nicely for a little while, with Brett taking habitat images I set up up for the closer images...

All the best

Come on Phil, let us in your secrets - how do you guys get so close?! Good macro this and the centrally positioned head looks fine. :toast: :toast:

Lovely low viewpoint, Phil. That stare is something else, glad I'm not a frog!
