Fossil Springs Trip 2011

We took all of our scouts into Fossil Springs for a backpacking trip. I saw mostly tree lizards and swarms of bugs. I did find a few frogs but they were shy to the camera. This guy was flirting with a female higher up in the tree. He is missing his tail and it was growing back. It made him look like a little bulldog.
Not sure I was so excited to be this close to this creepy spider, but we saw a bunch of these all up and down the creek.
The water was SOOOO clear. If you look close you can see the fish. This part of the creek was about 6 feet deep.
I was sitting high on the cliff above where the old dam was and this guy jumped up right next to me with a bug in his mouth. I snapped this shot just as he finished the job. You can see the legs sticking out of his mouth if you look close.
