Last Saturday my family and i were outside and noticed some movement by our fountain and came upon this creature who has made a home in a hole by our house. I thought that this creature would be a cool model for a photo and he did! good thing i didnt touch him; i sure didnt want to get warts!
Welcome to the Up from the UnderStory project blog! Make yourself at home. Click on posts. Share your comments.
What is an understory? The understory is the part of the forest that grows under the tree canopy. It's a shady area made up of a mixture of plants which usually need more light to leaf out and grow.
And that's what our project is about. Shining a light on how a diverse group of rural residents in the forested Sierra foothills of California are creating new paths toward community revitalization.
This blog is about community, collaboration, and change. It's a space to bring together a network of people who are interested in the community renewal efforts of the Blue Mountain towns of West Point, Wilseyville, Glencoe, and Railroad Flat in
A group of Blue Mountain area youth are using cameras and computers to share their perspectives and showcase local change efforts. We invite you to view their work, give feedback, and share your own stories of community change.

You are very luck to have a toad! They are wonderful garden friends and it's just a little bit of wild earth when you have them around. Toads eat all kinds of bugs that eat your plants. No warts involved.

What a shot!
It looks like you were very carefully about creeping up on the toad as to not scare him off.
This really has nice depth
Good work
Catie, great photo! I know some farmers in Costa Rica who share Alan's wisdom - they try to encourage frogs and toads to stay in their fields to eat pests. They turn on a light in the field at night to bring in bugs and then sit back to watch the action!
