Too much to mention... I dig all the artsy shots in both posts. Awesome display of variation!
I do have to mention... That blonde yellow bastard, mud pups, and ground mantis rad
That bullfrog shot too! Awesome abstract obscurity & water distortion

Excellent on both posts.
You certainly challenged our Eastern North America for salamander diversity.
Sensory overload. Good stuff.

This was absolutely ridiculous Chad. I think you saw the majority of my remaining CA targets in a single year!
Some really nice shots in the bunch, and impressive animals too. The chocolate oreganus, all the cryptic Batrachoseps...I could go on and on.

Very enjoyable post and great photos, as usual.
Re: 2017 in review! Part 2 of 2. (To large for one!).
Really nice post Chad! The mountain garter wide-angle in the stream as well as the fitchi over looking the stream are fantastic. You really make me want to make the effort to find those hydromantes species, they are very unique looking. I especially like your naturalistic habitat shots. The wandering laowa shot you took with us turned out great as did the northwestern. Your Torrent shot with the pool in the back is beautiful! probably my favorite. My dad and I really enjoyed our day in Mendocino with you, we have to meet up again! Let's make 2018 just as good!
