This little guy was hiding in a watering can and ended up in a ground-level bird bath that I tried to refill with the help of the can! It cooperated for a few photos, and then I carefully returned it to its territory among some bushes near the front door (which I hosed down to make it more moist and frog-friendly).

Look who I saw this evening when I went outside to turn my Halloween lights off. He was just sitting there on the timer box. I know it's only a frog but it's a very big deal for me because it's the first frog I've seen in 20 years and the first one I've seen here at my moms house. I always said my mom lived in Wild Kingdom and you never know what you're going to see here but this was really surprising to me and a joy at the same time.
At the easternmost edge of it's range, the Joshua Tree population of California tree frogs are isolated from the rest of their population, and are a species of special management concern in the park.

A male and a female California tree frog are joined in a mating position known as amplexus. Female frogs choose their partners often based on their calls—after choosing a mate, the male will affix himself to the female's back, where he'll remain anywhere from a few hours to a few days while fertilizing her eggs.

This frog, sitting on a slab of granite, has blotches of dark coloration on it's still-wet skin.

I haven't seen one of these little ones in many years (at least here in the mountains). This one was lounging in a ground level bird bath I have on my patio after dark, and then (after I fetched the camera) it had moved to a nearby boulder - a first rate choice for being cryptic on!

This seemed like an especially chubby individual. Maybe feasting on bugs (which we seem to have no lack of)?

Could be a California Tree Frog or Baja California Tree Frog. They both look very similar and I believe were once classified as the same species, but separated recently. This guy hangs out on my front porch. It stays fairly light in color, living within my 1920’s toilet bowl “planter”. Taken at night, with flash.
