A toad jumped in front of me today.  It blended perfectly with the bluestone coping on the retaining wall.

Once or twice a year I stumble on a toad on a rock and almost step on it because they’re camouflaged so well.  It doesn’t matter what color the rock toads finds a way to match it.

In school we’re all taught about the chameleon and how it can change color.  Why aren’t we taught about the local toad instead?  Their skills match any chameleon on the planet.

For perspective the boards in the photo below are 2 x 6’s.
