Newt, Interrupted
In the eye of the newt, you can see a panorama of Jasper Ridge. When this newt became aware of me, it froze in place. I moved slowly, focusing, capturing many images. The newt remained motionless -- it had more patience than I. Coastal Range Newt (Taricha torosa torosa). Morning dew. Road F from Escobar Gate, not far from the lonely valley oak at Trail 15, 2/25/2014, 7:47 am.
