The swimming hole is actually the little pond in my backyard.  The very same pond where the water lilies grow.  This toad had the whole pond to himself the other night and he was quite the model.  Normally when I go near the pond, the toads and frogs hop in the water.  This little guy didn’t and – believe it or not – he let me get THIS CLOSE with the Lensbaby 3G and +4 macro lens to photograph him.  I was literallly only inches away from him.  Good thing he wasn’t an “attack toad”!  🙂
