Those Days When You Just Want to Hide

Two little eyes peered up at me from the wood at my feet. A tree frog stared at me, hiding. He had nothing to be afraid of from me, except my camera.

Tree frogs will always be welcome to me because they signal to me that the ecology in my area is good, and I like the sounds they make.

But not all animals, reptiles and insects are so welcome. When I see a wasp, I generally avoid it. But this one seemed to be batting its head against the stem. I've had those days too.

And sometimes, no matter how creepy you are, nothing tastes good.

Even though the hummingbird moth isn't on my favorites list, I was glad he stopped long enough to let me see him. He was hidden well in the grasses, but the grass also helped hide me so I could sneak closer.
