This is a Brown tree frog, Litoria ewingi.
If you look closely you can see that it still has its tail.

It has been a huge week in the frogpondsrock household. And thanks to Lotus and her wonderful,weekly winners I can share part of my week.. YAY. Veronica has safely delivered Isaac into the world and I have been inundated with demands requests for photos of the new baby. Even though Isaac is now a week old I only have the photos that I took in the hospital when he was one day old. So those will just have to do…
Mother and Daughter with identical expressions…
and one more for Luck…

Hi, it’s Veronica from Sleepless Nights, filling in for Mum for a bit.
When I last saw Mum, she had printed out all her Weekly Winners, sticky-taped them to a giant board and was standing at the top of the driveway, trying to hail a passing satellite in order to broadcast them to you.
Yes, her internet has died. Unfortunately, she doesn’t know when she will be back, as her computer tells her it is a Network problem, yet her provider tells her it is a computer error. A fine case of pass the buck, which unfortunately Mum is losing out on badly.
So! Hopefully Mum is back soon, otherwise she might just end up pulling out all of her hair and murdering my father and brother (not that they don’t deserve it sometimes).

In other news and shameless blog whoring, I somehow managed to end up as a finalist in the 2009 Bloggies – Best Australian Blog category. I know! I don’t know how I managed it either!
Disbelief aside, I would be so grateful if you would head on over and vote for me. In fact, I would probably even be tempted to post photos of my 5 day old son just for you if you voted for me.
Please?

Yay!!! I am back online *phew*. I finally got through to a good technician, one that actually knew what he was talking about. Thankyou Manesh.
More photos of the new baby, Isaac will be published soon. Well as soon as I unstick them from the whiteboard, Gosh satellites are speedy little buggers.
Cheers kim

As is always the case when I have a zillion things to do, the universe intervenes and presents me with an opportunity to just savour the moment..
Yesterday when I got home from visiting Veronica and Isaac in the hospital there was a ladybird hunting aphids in the garden. I pushed my camera to its absolute limit trying to get a good shot.
I spent ages trying to get a good shot of this ladybird and I was fascinated by her methodical hunting methods.. I managed to watch her catch and eat an aphid. I was also a bit frustrated that my camera isn’t quite good enough to give me the extreme macro that I wanted. I really wanted a clear shot of her chomping away but the camera just wasn’t up to it.. *sigh*
If you look closely at that top shot, she is nomming on an aphid but I just couldn’t get any detail.
If any manufacturers of a digital SLR want to give me a new camera, I will give you as much free publicity that I can..*hint hint* but I dont think the people from Canon read about ladybirds..
If anyone else is interested in Ladybirds I have found a really good website..
Veronican and Isaac will be coming home from the hospital today, I want to thank everyone for the gazillion emails I have received and all the lovely comments here and on Veronica’s blog . Thankyou..

Here are some photos of Veronica and her family that I took today. Isaac is lovely and healthy and he really looks a lot like Vonnie. I can see flashes of David in there as well…
I love the identical expressions on Veronica and Amy’s faces in this one..
