Two Creatures Great and Small

I took my little point & shoot camera (or P&S, as the photo folks say) for a walk during my morning break. I found these two critters hanging around by the ponds. The frog was quite cooperative. He sat still nicely while I snapped several photos. I was able to get within three feet or so of him. I possibly could have gotten closer if I'd stepped into the pond.

The blue heron, on the other hand, was skittish. I got one half-decent photo of him standing on the shore, but I prefer this one of him flying across the pond. Unlike the frog, he wouldn't let me get any closer than 50 feet or so.
