Here are a few recent shots that I've taken that I particularly like:

During his short stay at my house, Martin the snail was well looked after, given fresh lettuce and cucumber (his favourite) and was released on a damp night to keep over curious birds at bay.

that toad is amazing

Cheers! I took quite a few of this little dude. I found him in some leaf litter in my back garden. I have an infinite supply of them in there!

He's so amazing infact, he looks exactly like a frog ;)

As for picture 7, the only post processing done was to change the levels to bring out the blueness of the flame, and to chop out an annoying large blue knob!
