Description
I managed to do a couple of hours in the garden yesterday, clearing the crocosmia leaves which were lying around over the emerging spring growth.
I uncovered this snoozing toad in the fernery and covered him up again quickly. The woodlouse on his back is safe for the moment!

He/she is a beauty Andrea. I'm glad you covered it again or you might have been toad off!!
cool find and shot !
Super shot Andrea. We've got frogs, toads and newts in our garden :)
beautiful warts and all study
jolie!
Very well done photo !!
It appears to be a small part of a dragon emerging from the foliage !
Amazing capture Andrea. God bless.
They would not survive here at all i am just hoping the creatures in my pond will make it i have heard that some of my friends said that they had some fish floating but i suppose the ponds were not that deep.Great capture here hon.
Excellent Capture
Glad l didnt find him :0)
Amazing texture/bump pattern & the lighting makes him look like he's been silver-plated. Great shot...
Cool toad.
My god that looks sooooo painful Andrea. I'm sure it will clear up with creams and a good squuuuuueeeeze!!!
How nice (horrible)capture :)
Impressive capture. Great shot
Nice find at least you know he will be on duty when the weather warms up.
Awesome contrast in this image of nature at its most bizarre, in this capital capture of the toad, warts and all, plus its little passengers. I wonder if the amphibian is sleeping because it feels so lousey.
great capture glad you covered him back up
Wow, he is huge! He must be very well fed in your garden...wonderful capture of this denizen!
What a handsome critter! Wonderful clarity and color. We have little tree frogs living in our ivy beds. You can hear them croaking as you walk past. Sometimes I will croak back and they will stop briefly before resuming their conversation. Probably think I'm rude for butting in.
A nice find and shot, good to see him in the garden.
I think you need to kiss him just to see what he becomes!
What a handsome fat toad! Wonderful bug eater to have in the garden. We have gazillions of toads at the Hollow, and the dogs learn quite fast they taste horrid! Leya has not tried one yet.
The light play across it's back is FANTASTIC! It could be polished bronze or oil in a rainy puddle SUPERB!
amazing find!! (found a hedgehog a few years back i.e. a prickly ball that rolled away) great capture!!
A super catch Andrea and I started out thinking it was a rotting gourd.
