Glamping 101.
Do you ever take the time to just notice things? Wherever I am, I like to make an effort to see something that maybe no one has before. It's like nature sharing a secret. (Forget-me-not, Myosotis sp.)
Good morning! Have a toad. (American toad, Anaxyrus americanus)
The gray treefrog (Hyla versicolor) isn't always gray - in fact, they can change color like chameleons! This is due to special pigment cells called 'chromatophores' that change shape (and therefore color) with differences in temperature or light, or with hormonal signals from the frog's body. These frogs also have sticky toes and are so dang cute!
Making Earth Day every day for more than three decades.
It's the season of spring ephemerals! These often-tiny wildflowers bloom early in spring, and can be hard to spot - unless you, like me, spend a lot of time crawling around in the leaf litter on the forest floor. This is trailing arbutus, AKA mayflower (Epigaea repens), which smells amazing.
