I found this frog leaping across the driveway. It was light green and had no pattern but 2 brown stripes coming from mid body to the front of its head. It was fairly small, about a half inch from head to toe and wasn't very fat.

I saw this snake slithering through some grass near a trail. It was fairly large, but I was never able to see the whole thing. I was only able to get one picture before it left but the coloring and stripes made it easy to identify

Thirst flowers were growing near a small steam. The plant itself was about a foot tall and the flowers were about an inch tall. They were a vivid bluish purple and had an intricate design coming from the base of the pedal, which led me to think they were Douglas irises

We found this alligator lizard while on our nature walk. It was fairly large, about 6 inches long. It was shade of olive, green, white, and a reddish brown. These colors combined to form an intricate pattern on its back

This snake was dead in the road on the way to lake Sonoma. It was about 2.5 feet long and had circular spots up and down its back. Due to the area I found it in and the coloring of the stripes on its tail(light and dark brown) I was able to identify it as a northern pacific rattlesnake
