Toadz

I've always loved the natural world but lately I've been into toads more than ever. It all started when a lovely plump toad returned to our porch every night around 9:45 pm. From then on, we always made sure he was there, even watched him catch bugs, and it seemed he liked to be petted. He didn't mind the flash of the camera or being observed. Once I made him upset and he released his water sac!!! Oops, I'll try not to startle him from now on.

Then one day he didn't come back. Life wasn't the same. Yeah, its summer and I'm bored--but toads have loads of personality. It hadn't rained in a while, I guess that was the reason. If you didn't know, toads burrow themselves in mud and dirt during the day and are nocturnal, most active at night. Well, since its been raining new toads have been showing up.

Lately I've been on the search for a Toad House. I also found someone who might love toads more than me. These pictures are my personal photographs of my amphibian friends. I like this one because he looks deep in thought.
