Wild Life & Karma –Aransas Pass, TX

When Karma and Ruthi went out this morning for Karma’s duties, they were greeted by a small multi-colored butterfly. It was flitting so fast and being hounded by Karma that Ruthi didn’t get a close enough look to be able to search Wikipedia for the exact name. Lucky for it, Karma was unable to catch it.

Usually, Karma’s evening walk happens while there is still some light after sunset. Tonight we were late getting her dinner ready and Ruthi needed to carry a flashlight to ensure all poop was collected. On the way back to the rig Karma got excited and started leaping into a grassy area between RV paved slots. Ruthi didn’t see anything and brought Karma back to the pathway. All of a sudden, Karma dove for the underside of a storage trailer in the next RV’s space. Ruthi stopped and bent down to shine the flash light under the trailer. And, there was a large frog/toad ready to get away from Karma. As it hopped out Ruthi noticed that it had a kinda flat turtle-like back that was green and black. It was as large as the palm of her hand.
