Observations by smallhands

Young alligator lizard in a Australian Tree Fern (please note, this was not posed I just spotted it while looking around the garden.)

Butterfly near a creek that runs through some redwoods in La Honda, CA.

Moth in a doorway in the afternoon.

Butterfly seen in backyard peacefully sunning.

Saw this interesting patterned insect on a glass table in our backyard.

Mushrooms on a tree stump.

Mushrooms on an old stump.

Old bobcat gathering some sun rays in the winter afternoon.

Newt on an afternoon stroll... caught my attention.

Large orange spider with a pronounced white stripe sitting on an ivy leaf.

Rather chubby caterpillar with a pale blue tail horn.

Young snake watching me work or perhaps blissfully ignorant of my presence.

Another alligator lizard trying to look tough to a local cat. Cat was prevented from demonstrating the effective hunting techniques of a feline.

Flowers seen along the trail. Not a great shot, too breezy, but the flowers had a lantern like structure with leaves that look similar to Trifolium angustifolium.

Butterfly gathering the last of the days warming rays.

One of a number of different types of moth that covered an old truck in the woods.

Blooming Andrew's clintonia lighting a redwoods creek trail.
