First we noticed a man standing very still along the side of the marsh. Then we saw that he had a camera on a tripod, always a signal to me that there might be something interesting to see.

The man got away before we had a chance to ask him what he was watching. But he returned. Repeatedly. And finally DH had a chance to ask what he was looking at. Tiny frogs!

If I’m not mistaken they are Pacific tree frogs. In my short visit to the observation spot I was able to find three. A fourth had had enough of the attention and climbed away. They’re pretty cute, not much bigger than a human thumb.

The first viewer stayed around long enough to interest others who happened by. There have been other photographers and observers, coming by steadily for at least a week.

I love that people have horses around here. They’re such beautiful creatures.

These horses were part of a group that was accustomed to friendly visitors, or, perhaps, people who stop by with treats. When I approached the fence several stopped their grazing and came to see if I had anything to offer.

Others stayed put, rightly guessing I wasn’t going to hand out any carrots.
