                                                     The love life of toads and frogs
​

Near my home in the North of the Netherlands there is a small recreational lake. In March many toads and frogs go to this lake to mate and take care of their offspring. The lake has a fairly light and sandy bottom. This makes it possible to take reasonably sharp photos of this process (with the help of a polarization filter). The toads and frogs are very dedicated. In human eyes it is a real orgy with many matings and also regularly a threesome. With this series I wanted to show the different aspects of that dedication. Incidentally, these animals are not doing so well, which is mainly a result of drought, loss of habitat and a decrease in the amount of food. In any case, it will not be due to the dedication of the toads and frogs. They do their utmost to take care of offspring. In short, a series with a wink.
