I used a program called Skylum. SC decided it was beyond the scope of standard editing. Looks like I won't be using it anymore!

LOL! I knew. there had to be a story behind it!! I couldn't help but read more about toad mating habits after seeing your picture. It's interesting that they prefer to copulate under moonlight. They are so romantic:)

Last year I had a crow friend who came to visit me daily. I named him "Roy". He would bring me treats like chicken bones, pizza crust, and even spiced shrimp! He would leave it in the bird bath. Not sure where he was getting it. Probably from someone's trash! I don't recognize if this is the same crow as Roy would come by himself and this one appears to be part of a family.
