So we'll stick with the frogs for today... Anya spotted this little fella when we were out for a nice little nature walk for her birthday last week. I am really impressed with just how simple yet effective his camouflage is. That simple dark stripe along the head really allows him to sit among leaves on the forest floor and almost disappear.

Even without leaves on top of him, you can see how well he can blend in...

The other thing that I saw a ton of during this hike was mushrooms, so we'll get to those soon.

Stay tuned.
