Desert Critters

 

This bullfrog was calling to another frog across the pond. I could hear him but I couldn't see him.  He was well hidden in among the reeds and vines that grow at the edge of the water.  Finally another photographer pointed him out and I was able to get just this one shot. 

The desert spiny lizard wasn't hard to spot at all.  He was in the path just ahead of me and he stayed put as I walked past him and turned to take his photo.  Nothing shy about this fellow.

The rabbit actually jumped straight up into the air when it heard me on the path close by.  However, he took one look at me and decided I was harmless and continued his search for things to munch on.

This little round-tailed squirrel found something he could munch on.  There were two of these little guys scavenging for food and drawing a few photographers.  If those photographers hadn't been there, I might have missed him altogether.  The wildlife was plentiful Sunday morning at the Desert Botanical Garden.
