Wow! Just Wow! You must give your animals the same treatment that Ronny gives his critters to keep them from moving about, which they do for the rest of us...

Douglas, your series is awesome. Congrats!
Thank you very much, Philip. Several years ago I went to visit that little church in Normandy where an American paratrooper was hanging onto the roof by his parachute after he jumped out of his plane on June 6 1944. I hope this is not the same church where the ISIS barbarians did their heinous act to the old priest. A friend of of mine is visiting Nice right now and she said backpacks were searched going to beaches and shopping malls. I certainly hope we don't accept this as the "new normal". Sorry for getting off track folks.

Thank you, Philippe! , I would not post the empty spot where the frog was after it jumped away, although the ginger plant is also unique. I have had my fair share of OOF, I did focus manually and the frog moved when I triggered the shutter.

Bob, you produce superb shots with pretty much any the lens, so with the Elmarit, you should shine ever so brightly.
I produce shots where the only item people mention (not only you) is the lens. Which goes to show...
Thanks I was surprised it turned out so well. A7R2 stabilization helped, but my connection to the tripod was my RRS plate on the camera which didnt bode well. I do love the 100-300 for hiking. My hiking friend was slogging his Canon 5Drs, 11-24 and 70-200 and his pack was about twice what mine was...

Here's Seattle, Puget Sound and the Olympics from the same spot:

But Philippe, we all know it's not just your lens but your vision of what you shoot. The lens is just added icing on the cake! And thanks for your comments too!
Hermann that very nicely done b/w shot tells a story - love it. Moreover it reminds me of the truly excellent movie "Le salaire de la peur" with Yves Montand.
