this little guy isn't enjoying that peanut. David says I'm anthropomorphizing but it seems obvious his or her eyes are closed in bliss as she nibbles away.A few days ago I grabbed the camera as well as the binoculars and headed to Halibut Point State Park. There's a vernal pond that normally would be dry as a bone by now but due to all the precipitation still makes a comfortable pollen-strewn home for this little green frog and his friends.
I crept into the cove and was as quiet as could be for minutes on end trying to get an angle with enough light to take the picture. I was obviously blending flawlessly because I suddenly heard something coming up on me. I turned with a cry and startled (right at my feet) a RACCOON. She looked as surprised as I did and immediately scurried up the slender white branch of a birch tree nearby. She got about half way up, looked down at me, realized I was still too close for comfort, ran down the tree and bounded across the path to another part of the park. I hurried after her: "Wait! I wanna take your picture! Come back!" Too late.
