A Green Tree Frog, Lithobates clamitans. shot at Lake Loree at the Sunny Hill Resort and Golf Course in Greenville, Greene County, New York. Sunny Hill is a 101 year old Catskill Mountains vacation spot that I have been coming to on and off for 69 years, when I was the ripe old age of one! Hope you enjoy it!!

A Red-Spotted Newt, Notophthalmus viridescens. I met this beautiful creature along a path at Lake Loree at the Sunny Hill Resort and Golf Course in Greenville, New York during my recent Memorial Day trip up to the Catskill Mountains. This is a juvenile, called an "Eft," and is 1-3 inches long. The adults are green and are 3-5 inches long. They secrete a poisonous toxin to warn predators to "lunch elsewhere." This brings back happy memories of finding these when I was a Boy Scout at summer camp when I was 11 or 12 years old. It was so nice to find them again!
