Eastern Newt aka Red-spotted Newt

Keep close to Nature's heart...and break clear away, once in awhile, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods. Wash your spirit clean.
~John Muir
My first encounter with a Newt on land Seen 09-04-11

  10. You have a talent for making almost anything look "cute". Lizards, newts, snakes, insects--you can make all of them appealing.
    Hope you had a good Labor Day. Mickie :)
