New toy....

Hiay, I've been busy playing with my new toy, I finally made a decision and lashed out and bought myself a Canon DSLR camera, it's a 60D, I'm really happy with it, now I just have to learn how to use it properly..  Which will be a challenge and fun and probably cause me some anxious moments too!!  Oh well, it's all good for the soul as they say. 
I'm also busy raising frogs, our first lot of tadpoles are busy leaving home, it's wonderful to see and they are so tiny.  I now have a new batch to raise, these are a different frog too.  I suspect that both lots are some sort of dwarf frog, I'm just not sure which one.  I have spent many hours cruising the 'net looking at frog pictures, it's a lovely past time when it's pouring with rain outside and the frogs are all calling.
While I was out taking shots yesterday I came across a spider building a web, so for those that don't like spiders don't look at the last picture.  I do have to say I'm pretty happy with the picture and the industriousness of the spider!  In the shot below he/she is having a little rest after nearly completing the web.
