I really really wanted to post something yesterday because we went into the H02 wetlands looking for green treefrogs
(Hyla cinerea) and found a few. I needed a little tissue for DNA extractions but they are so photogenic I figured they'd be perfect for the blog. That was a great plan until my camera fell into the water. Yep, totally submerged and covered in duckweed. Brought it back to the lab and pulled out the battery and memory card and put everything into my 37 degree incubator. Twenty-four hours later it worked great!!! No wetlands today but have a couple photos of fall plant life. The club moss is from around Rainbow Bay, but have to confess the Mexican marigold is just from my yard---just had to test that the camera is indeed dry and functional!
