The dark eye stripe does not change, but the body color and dark markings can quickly change from dark to light, and the body color itself can also change, typically from brown to green or vice versa or a combination of both, in response to environmental conditions.
A study of Hyla (Pseuacris) regilla in Washington concluded that "H. regilla has control over and can change its hue, chroma, and lightness during time periods on the order of minutes." ..."...we support the idea that physiological color change has evolved as a mechanism to allow rapid background matching as a tree frog moves from one location to another."

I can't believe it was almost 40 years ago when I took this photo! Back then, Cabo Pulmo (about 50 miles NE of Cabo San Lucas) was a beautiful, sleepy, remote stretch of coastline. You just drove your vehicles up on the beach and camped wherever you wanted. You rarely saw anyone else. Incredible diving and fishing. We made the drive down the Baja Peninsula probably 4 years in a row in the late 70's and early 80's, and usually camped in this area. I have many hundreds of Kodachrome slides from these trips. Time to dust them off!
I was surprised to see coyotes on a remote sandbar island in Baja California Sur, Mexico. They were much darker and thinner than the ones we see further north in southern California. Surviving on fresh water by licking the dew off of ice plants in the mornings, they hunt rabbit, lizards and birds. There were a number of dead pelicans on the beach with a lots of coyote and crab tracks all around the remains. No way to tell what killed the birds but the cleanup crew was there.

This Copernicus Sentinel-1 image takes us just south of the US border, to the region of Baja California in northwest Mexico. Its capital city, Mexicali, is visible top left of the image.
This false colour image contains three separate images overlaid on top of each other. Captured on 30 April, 12 May and 17 June, the different colours represent changes that occurred on the ground.
The Colorado River, which forms the border between Baja California and Sonora, can be seen cutting through the rich and colourful patchwork of agricultural land at the top right of the image, before it fans out and splits into multiple streams. Flowing for over 2300 km, the Colorado River rises in the central Rocky Mountains in Colorado, flows through the Grand Canyon before crossing the Mexican border and emptying into the Gulf of California, also known as the Sea of Cortez.
The Colorado River delta once covered a large area of land and, owing to its nutrients carried downstream, supported a large population of plant and bird life. However today, water that flows is trapped by dams and is used for residential use, electricity generation as well as crop irrigation for the nearby Imperial Valley and Mexicali Valley. The reduction in flow by dams and diversions traps the majority of the river’s sediments before they reach the Gulf of California, impacting water quality.
Copernicus Sentinel-1 is a two-satellite mission, each carrying a radar instrument that can see through clouds and rain. As a constellation of two satellites orbiting 180° apart, the mission can repeat observations every six days, which is also useful for monitoring evolving situations.
This image is also featured on the Earth from Space video programme.

La Cava Baja is a street in old Madrid, in the neighborhood of La Latina, that runs between the Puerta Cerrada square and the Humilladero square. On its way we found about 50 bars.

The Subaru Baja is an all-wheel-drive, four passenger, four-door utility manufactured from 2002 to 2006 by Subaru and marketed for model years 2003 to 2006. The Baja combines the handling and passenger carrying characteristics of a traditional passenger car with the open-bed versatility, and to a lesser degree, load capacity of a pickup truck.
The unibody design borrowed heavily from the existing mechanicals, platform and sheet metal of the Subaru Legacy/Outback wagon. Production began on July 18, 2002 as a 2003 model at the Subaru of Indiana Automotive, Inc. factory in Lafayette, Indiana.
The Baja nameplate derives from Mexico's noted peninsula of the same name — home to the Baja 1000 off-road race.
30,000 were marketed over four and a half years.
This is a Rolleiflex camera photo on Kodacolor film of my small trailerable swing keel sailboat, Paloma, upon our arrival at the Baja Peninsula after sailing across the Sea of Cortez from the mainloand of Mexico in 1977. This was our first successful attempt to make the crossing after a failed effort two years earlier. I describe these adventures in my book, Sailing the Sea of Cortez, Voyages of Discovery. The book is published by Apple with many photos and is downloadable from the Apple iTunes bookstore. The scene upon our arrival at Baja was full of contrasts with dazzlingly brilliant white sand beaches, turquoise green water and deep blue sky.
