A Forest PhotowalkPosted by drfl on July 26th, 2010

Saturday was the third annual Scott Kelby Photowalk.  Normally, you participate by signing up at a city or location near you and you take the opportunity to photograph the surroundings with 50 other individuals.  This year I decided to have a little smaller photowalk with only my eldest daughter and me.  We took a stroll through Schramm State Recreation Area and looked at the wildflowers, mushrooms, and had some fun crossing the suspension bridge that spans a ravine deep in the forest.  On the way back, we saw something jumping across the trail which made us jump a little.  Stopping to find the hopper, we spotted a little Rocky Mountain Woodhouse Toad.  He had stopped and was lying perfectly still in the surrounding foliage.  A couple of times I even lost him in the viewfinder as I was readjusting my perspective and found it difficult to find him again.  He had some great camouflage!
