Really?!!! We spent a couple of the nights there. Ten years ago + or - Looking at real estate. Not too much to look at.
I can’t believe you just posted a pic from Cloud Croft. We look there, and Las Cruces and ended up doing a stint in Amarillo. Which wasn’t bad unless the wind was blowing out of the north. Then it really smelled bad.

They had reindeer too. Guess who I thought of :thinking:


But they didn’t want us petting or feeding this guy. Probably a good idea.
This place is like a sanctuary for the injured. They are all rescues in some form or fashion. They are all very well cared for. It’s not like a zoo or circus. It’s a pretty cool place.

I got some trails in that area I’m gonna end up at later this year. I found some up by Taos I want to go to also but it needs to be summer time for the Taos ones. I’m lucky I took extra clothes and a jacket. I forgot how much a few hours can change the weather :joy:

Wasn’t there a thread about Things That Can F Off? Could have sworn that existed at one point… That storm belongs in that thread.

I spy with my little eye something on my tomato :face_with_monocle:

@AyBee do you know what type of frog this is. Not a green tree frog :thinking: I’ve seen a few of these around lately and I’m pretty sure they make a sound like a loud tap dripping at night… soooooo cute!!!

First time tobogganing for my nephew and my son came along. So happy to be sober and to be able to enjoy these moments.

It could very well be the White-lipped tree frog.

That first pic of them peeking over the top of the tomato is adorable.

EDIT: White-lipped frogs are big as adults so that might be a juvenile, or it could also be the smaller White’s Treefrog, or Northern Dwarf Treefrog.

I think it’s definitely a Treefrog, just not the classic all green one.

EDIT 2: I very much think it is the Northern Dwarf Treefrog.

EDIT 3: awwwww fudge. Most likely, given where you live, the Eastern Dwarf Treefrog. They look almost the same but the Eastern version can have some brown patches on its back - not always though. Can look almost identical to Northern version.

Awww so cute hey! Just googled it and they only grow to 2.5cm! Thanks for the information knew I could rely on you!

I love the first photo also. It had its front legs folded in under its head, adorable :heart_eyes:

I must have a few different frog species here because I googled what frog makes a tap dripping/ball bouncing sound and it’s a striped marsh frog. Had to rescue one out of the house about a month ago and it looks just like the picture I found. It was only very small also.
