Something Squirrelly this Way Comes

I snapped this picture while leaving a friend's house. It's a frog with camo! What most amused me is that this is probably the only Town of Cary approved frog - it's neutral in color!

For those of you who are unaware, Cary, North Carolina has a passionate love affair with the color beige. Most buildings are beige - even McDonald's. It's part of the town code. Makes me wonder if, perhaps, the town council hauled this variety of treefrog in so that it wouldn't mess up their decor.

See how well he blends with the beige siding? He'd blend even better if he rotated 45 degrees. Then his patterns would be more in tune with the lines on the siding.

After some searching, I've determined that this is a Cope's Gray Treefrog (Hyla chrysoscelis) aka Town of Cary approved amphibious critter.
