CREATURES


Here we have a Tree Frog hiding under a cushion at Roger and Ute's Lake house.  We took a quick look and then covered him up again.  I think he is a good distance away from a tree...




We were heading down Axe Lake road the other day and came across this little guy by the side of the road sleeping.  His head was all curled up under his wing and it really looked like he had no head - all the feathers just folded on top of each other in place.  We made a bit of a noise and he still didn't move.  Finally he looked at us but didn't act afraid at all.  He just sat there waiting for us to leave.  He was a young hawk and was probably waiting for his parents to find him or come back for him.  It was fun to be so close to such an amazing creature.  We left him alone.


We spotted this painted turtle on one of our quad rides - he was just basking in the sun and far enough away that he paid no attention to us.  I am sure he would be faster than us getting away if we tried to catch him.
