Wildlife Sanctuary

I was mowing around one of our trees yesterday and I saw something move. I looked real close and there was a toad hiding in the mulch and grass clippings. I'm not sure how I didn't run him over. He let me pose for some pics though. I couldn't believe how close he let me get without scampering off. This pic is how I first saw him hiding:

Then he let me get a nice close up right in his grill. Check out those cool eyes:


Here's another allium shot. Can you see the baby dragonfly on the bottom?

  1. I agree he has cool eyes but I still thinks he is gross! I think I would have freaked if I found him in my yard...although that may be something I have to deal with down in VA. :( I love the flowers. Very cool shot.

  2. Those pics are so gorgeous! That toad would have been hopping for his life with my kids around. They would have had him in a jar if he didn't get out of dodge.
