Chilling in the creek
Pacific Tree Frog enjoying its semi-aquatic lifestyle in Red Rock Conservation Area, Nevada. Spring 2007.

This is the most common frog in Red Rocks. The majority of them are either light or dark grey, but I have seen also a few greenish ones.

Beginning in the early 1980s, biologists began to realize that amphibians such as frogs are extremely sensitive to pollution. Thus, healthy frogs are a sign of clean environment.

Such a sweet and a bit sleepy-looking little frog!

"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed.""   --Albert Einstein
