"Thank you, lizard!" Cool critters + even cooler creeks = An awesome April FM 4/2024

April was a month full of cool creatures, some of whom even let me film them, like a tiny butterfly, a baby newt and a very brave lizard that let me take an "ussie!" And, of course, it was full of fun moments with the dog, who enjoyed splashing into all the cool creeks still full from all the rain we got in Northern California.

"Can I take an ussie?!" Perhaps one of my favorite moments ever was the lizard who let me take a selfie with him. :)
