It was grey and cool all day today. We went up to Lake Ranch reservoir to eat lunch and play some educational games. I took some pictures.




These young Bullfrogs were hiding under a log at the edge of the water. It's strange that a species originally introduced to California because people liked eating their legs is now so abundant. Let that be a warning.




Here's a Pacific Tree frog mistaking the sleeve of a sweatjacket for a burrow.




Beyond the reservoir is a shady, moist area populated by amphibians and slugs. Fungi were also present in glorious abundance. Not a good place to play games though, so we left to seek out firmer ground.

Willow turns two tomorrow! Hurrah!
