Toadyism

Froggy Pal

Fresh off the digital camera, a photo of the big toad that lives behind our house - probably in a nice cool burrow under one of the shrubs in the garden, right where Shannon weeds.  This specimen is big, about the size of a hockey puck, but probably twice as thick. I can't tell, from my few minutes snapping photos, whether it's an American, Canadian, or Great Plains today. But whatever the species, s/he's  just out there, ridding the world of bugs. And my god, the warts.
