Amazing Camouflage

One of the most interesting and phenomenal things about nature is camouflage. How is it that one thing is meant to or adapts to blend in with another? This is a question for science, and this isn't the place for that. Through photography, we get a chance to explore the beauty of natural camouflage. I especially enjoy the camouflage of frogs and toads. 


The following photos were taken of toads in camouflaged areas that I found them. 


This photo was difficult to take; I could hardly see where the toad was because he was so small and blended in to his surroundings. 


It's interesting that I found this toad where he was because the rung of a ladder is not a natural habitat for a tree frog like this one. I typically see these frogs on trees around our house. They make the most obnoxious noises; but whenever I hear the sound I become nostalgic for childhood summers.
