These pictures are from a few Sundays ago. More critters have been captured on film! I love this time of year when it is nice to be outside. Searching and discovering different creatures is an adventure for me. I just try not to remember that spiders exist in the world when I'm out hunting for life forms! They're not my favorite friends. I respectfully acknowledge their existence, then step away. I will stick to photographing creatures who appear to be more friendly. What are your preferences? Do you have a favorite animal or a creepy crawly you shy away from?
A frog!

There is a frog in this picture. Can you find it?
This is a close up of the frog from the previous photograph. It is still difficult to see. It blends in well!
This is the first tadpole I have found this spring!
To the left are squirrel prints, in the center including the large print by the water are raccoon prints, and to the right by the stick are dog prints.
On the left are squirrel prints. On the right an animal was digging. It's possible that the squirrel that left the prints did the digging.
Mushrooms! Never eat mushrooms you find unless you know what you are looking for. There are edible species of mushrooms in Maryland including the Honey Mushrooms and Crown-Tipped Fungus. However, many are inedible and some can be deadly if ingested. Inedible mushrooms species can look similar to species that are edible. Please consult an expert before going mushroom hunting.
These ants are carrying a caterpillar.
