Spring rains bring out the green... foliage and creatures.
I'm a big frog lover and they're all around in spring. Especially after a rainy night.
Watch your step while hiking in Highland Recreation Area after a rain - these little guys are everywhere!
One day back in June of this year, my wife Eva and I were exiting the park and saw a rock in the middle of the road... the rock turned out to be a big turtle! We stopped, snapped a few photos, and put him back in the forest off of the road.
I don't know what kind of turtle he was... but by the looks of his "hare/hair" (bad joke) algae covered shell he was obviously a pond/lake dweller who lives in the wetlands most of the time. He tried to bite me when I picked him up. A snapper?
Highland Recreation Area has many animals both warm and cold blooded. Go to the park and enjoy natures' bounty!
