Amanda Stinson noticed the little green treefrog in the center of this beautiful rose.

Sierran Treefrogs have the ability to change color from green to rusty red. Perhaps this is happening here. If he/she were closer to the color of the rose, he/she would more easily catch any insect that came close!

Thanks to Amanda for allowing me to share her fun photo with you here - something you don't see every day!

It's been foggy and cool today.

Amanda Stinson had just built this stone tower when this California Sister butterfly flitted down on her hand.

Just why was Amanda building a stone tower? I'll let her answer.

Amanda wrote, “When I caught wind of a ‘balance for peace day,’ with rock balancers from all over the world, I had to participate. When I finished, a California Sister appeared, fluttering around, made a balance on my fingers, and graciously posed for a picture. It seems butterflies like peace too.”
