These treefrogs are quite small but the bright green color should give this one away. The Sierran Treefrog enjoys hiding under a decorative mushroom in Carolyn Andre's flowerpot.

Charles Mills went to clean out his hot tub and found one of these frogs inside. But this Sierran Treefrog had changed colors to match the color of the hot tub cover.

This beige-for-now treefrog had to find a new home! I imagine he/she will begin transforming into its green color.

Thanks to Carolyn and Charles for allowing me to share their photos with you here.

Today, Tuesday, there is thick fog over the Pacific Ocean. But if you get away from the immediate coast, it's toasty warm and the wind picked up this afternoon.

Think how convenient it would be if you could blend in to your environment by changing your color. That's what Sierran Tree Frogs can do. Richard Kuehn photographed one in the process of changing from green to tan.

This tiny frog has a big voice, calling "ribbit, ribbit." They used to be called Pacific Tree Frogs, which seems more appropriate that Sierran. They are also called Chorus Frogs. Here's a cute photo by Adrian Bennett of a Tree Frog hiding in a flower pot.

If you can spot the frog on the rim of the pot,  you will see how small these frogs are!
