amphibian

Saw this green frog today in the Dell Pond, a stormwater retention reservoir at UVa that looks like a pretty pond, part of the colonial architecture (but serves a purpose in rainwater maintenance!  I heard a lecture about stormwater in my Restoration Ecology class last year and will never look at drainage ditches the same way again.).  This guy will probably spend the winter hibernating at the bottom of the pond, nestled in some plant roots.

Also, if you click the image and enlarge it, you can see my reflection with the camera in his eye.
