Sierran Treefrogs have suction-like pads on their fingers and toes that allow them to easily climb anything they want to. Kitty Wolfe recently found one hanging on what looks like a ceramic flower pot.

These treefrogs are usually green, but they can change color to brown, and then back to green. This one is in the process of changing color but I don't know which one. They are fascinating tiny frogs.

Thanks to Kitty for allowing me to share her photo with you here.

After a two-day heatwave (okay, it didn't get that hot!), we are having a sunny, breezy, cool day. Lots of white caps on the Pacific Ocean tells us that upwelling is occurring in the ocean. Upwelling is when the surface waters of the ocean are pushed towards shore by a northwest wind. Colder, nutrient rich waters then rise to the surface, igniting the entire food chain.
