Peering Frog
American River Parkway, California
At the end of a morning photo shoot, I noticed dew-covered grasses surrounding this small green pond. I shot some close-ups and was trying to compose something creative with the green pond algae when I had this strange feeling that I was being watched. This frog, and a couple of his friends, were making sure I was only shooting pictures.

As one of the most biodiverse areas in the world, California's natural beauty has the capacity to inspire. A lifetime can be spent exploring its varied landscapes including oceans, rivers, mountains, deserts, wetlands, and old growth forests. California is one of only five regions of the world with a Mediterranean climate, and harbors more unique plants and animals than any other state. Rapid population growth and associated development threaten the survival of many of the state's unique lands, inland and coastal waters and native species.
