Bustin' Up a Starbucks
Connie Buttitta and I get sidetracked on the way to pre-K. 
Green Scene
| The hills are beginning to turn greener after a winter of steady rains. 
| Awesome Arachnid This was the only scorpion that I found on the trip. 
Climbing Creature
| Arboreal Salamanders are sit-and-wait-predators. This is a baby. Adults eat small invertebrates and sometimes slender salamanders on the ground at night during wet weather. These salamanders often climb trees. Click here to see another pic 
Purple Tree
| This tree had a crazy-looking trunk. 
Skilton's Skink
| Skinks live in grassland, woodlands, pine forests, sagebrush, chaparral - especially in open sunny areas such as clearings and the edges of creeks and rivers. This one was found near a creek. 
Frog Lake
| Unfortunately this body of water did not live up to its name - it was too cold for frogs to be out. 
Slender Salamander
| These are small woodland salamanders which breathe through their smooth, moist, thin skin. 
Final Look
| Henry Coe is a very scenic place, and I hope to return when the weather is better. |
