After dog-walk this morning, I was startled to find a large toad on the back deck. He eyed me with distrust and disdain, but remained on the deck while I hunted for my phone to take a photo of his glorious amphibianness. He declined the photo op by hopping under the deck the moment I trained my camera on him. I realized that I could have spent some quality time with him instead of trying to get a photo. Moment lost. I'll recall that option next time.
Urban nature.
Toad
A poem
Toad, whom I met this morning on my deck,
Please don't meet the same pancake fate as your fellow amphibian did last week on our roadway.
Thank you, your human admirer.
