8"W x 10" W Colored Pencil on Ampersand Pastelbord.

While camping at Rocky Bayou State Park, Niceville, FL (near Destin and Ft Walton Beach), I took some photographs of one of our campsite vistors - a large orange toad. We found him one night while cooking dinner. Despite low light, I managed to get some good shots of him nestled among a pile of dried leaves. He was so completely camouflaged by his environment, it is a wonder we even saw him!

This little piece will be exhibited Nov 7, 2009 - Jan 3, 2010 at The Wildlife Experience in Parker, CO, as part of The Society of Animal Artists Small Works - Big Impressions exhibition.
