23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

Love Triangle - Couch's Spadefoot Edition! Males Battle for the Heart of a Single Lady
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot captured by wildlife enthusiast John Cancalosi, we witness the intense competition among male Couch's Spadefoot toads as they vie for the affections of a lone female. These amorous amphibians engage in an epic showdown, showcasing their impressive courtship skills and determination. Breeding primarily during rainy periods from May to September, these fascinating creatures can be found in various habitats across North America, including shortgrass prairies, mesquite savannas, creosote bush deserts, thorn forests, and even tropical deciduous forests. Their unique call resembles an anxious bleat of a sheep - quite the unexpected serenade! As we observe this lively scene unfold in water-filled surroundings, it becomes evident that nature has its own way of spicing up romance. The males' vibrant colors and spirited displays add charm to their pursuit while highlighting their individuality. This photograph serves as a delightful reminder that love knows no bounds – not even within the animal kingdom! So next time you find yourself feeling unlucky in love or caught up in romantic entanglements, take inspiration from these determined Couch's Spadefoots who stop at nothing to win over their beloved. After all, if they can navigate through such fierce competition with grace and resilience. . . so can you!
