Our friend Bustamente's Tree Toad lives in the Amazon basin of Peru! They are also known as the Amazonian Tiny Tree Toad and grow to less than an inch long! They spend a lot of their time in trees but return to ponds to breed! (photo by Claude Kolwelter)

Happy Tuesday! It was overcast today so here is another photo from yesterday's stellar sunrise, this one taken about 10 minutes before the sun broke the horizon. Tap for full size. I hope you have a great day!

The United States is behaving like a rogue state. The President has carried out an illegal act of war, kidnapped a foreign head of state, and is now threatening military action against NATO allies. This is a constitutional crisis.
Impeachment must be on the table.

it may be 60 degrees but it's still soup season, and I have a lot of soups planned! Tonight is one of my favorites, Jacques Pépin's black bean soup. Another hour of simmering, then this gets hit with an immersion blender for perfectly creamy finished soup.
