A very gorgeous dragonfly. If you enlarge the picture by clicking on it, you can see some cool detail on his wings. (Credit: Jeff)
A teeny butterfly resting on the trail. I've gotten good at spotting small things...and then telling Jeff to take a picture of them. (Credit: Jeff)
A bright orange salamander that I was almost convinced was fake...but it wasn't. I poked it to be sure. (Credit: Theresa)
A very lovely butterfly. We've seen many different types but most aren't so kind as to hold still like this one did. (Credit: Jeff)

This tiny bird's nest was simply amazing. Those birds sure know how to build things.(Credit: Jeff)
A something-pede. I didn't get to count all of his legs, but there are a lot. (Credit: Jeff)
A wood frog. We've found a lot of these on our hikes, most fairly small. This guy is a bit bigger than most. (Credit: Jeff)

Poked it? Really? PETA is going to be after your ass.
I like the orange salamander the best.
Imagine you're an innocent little salamander enjoying the sun while stretching out on a rock when all of a sudden a giant comes by and pokes you!
he he, I probably would have done the same thing... just a gentle nudge to see if he'd move
I think even the wee salamander realized Theresa is no giant =).
I would just like to add that on different hikes in the area we have also come across deer and a black bear.
Don't forget the rattlesnake, Gregory, on the same day as the bear. Big day.
