Reptiles and Amphibians
Mark says we may as well do this gallery. It's a natural progression since we already have collections of flowers, birds, and bugs. I think so too.
Our focus with this gallery is to show the creatures that we have stumbled upon in the wild. No zoo or shop shots for us. Or you. We may not see many creatures in this category, but we appreciate them none the less.
Herping is the act of searching for reptiles and amphibians. The term herping comes from "herptile", composed of Greek herpeton and Latin reptile, both meaning "to creep".
Along with our other enjoyments we count herping among them - enjoy.

Taricha granulosa - Rough-skinned newt
Cape Horn Trail - Columbia River Gorge - Washington state - March 23, 2020
We saw two of these little guys making their slow but sure way across the trail today. It's underside from head to tail was brilliant bright orange. It was VERY stressed being turned over so we put him/her down quickly and to go on it's way.
