Toad is a fictional character who primarily appears in Nintendo's Mario franchise. He obviously lives in a mushroom kingdom.
This was one of many Toads I encountered today. He's actually crawling up out of a deep boot print in the mud. It looked like hard work for him! I was drawn by his amazing eyes.

Feeling grumpy in the morning? Cane Toad (Rhinella marina). A South American species, great at controlling beetles that threatened sugar and fruit plantations. Introduced to Australia in 1935 and now hopping across the continent eating anything that they can fit in their mouths. To many Aussie animals a plump toad is a tempting meal, but toxins exuded from special glands on the toad's head often leads to a quick death.
baby toad (around 5cm) on garden debris.
Cleaning up the patio this afternoon, we disturbed this little one who went to find a quieter place to bask in the autumn sun
Hope your day is just hopping!

I spotted this Toad about to cross the road by a car park at Shingle street in Suffolk today, so I stood by and stopped all the cars until it had crossed safely! A sure sign of Spring!
Stop looking like a purse. How could a purse
squeeze under the rickety door and sit,
full of satisfaction, in a man's house?
You clamber towards me on your four corners -
right hand, left foot, left hand, right foot.
I love you for being a toad,
for crawling like a Japanese wrestler,
and for not being frightened.
I put you in my purse hand, not shutting it,
and set you down outside directly under
every star.
A jewel in your head? Toad,
you've put one in mine,
a tiny radiance in a dark place.

Its that time of year when toads are making their way to the nearest pond.... they cross roads and paths and many get killed in the process. This one was quietly making its way along the path to the pond (along with about 20 others). I think its going to get busy there over the next few days!
It seems the toad party has finally started .. and the pairs look so blissful in the sun .. was lovely to sit and hear them ...
There are two species of spadefooted toad in SE Utah and they can be difficult to tell apart if you don't know what to look for. Here the New Mexico spadefoot (Spea Multiplicata) is on the left and the Plains spadefoot (Spea bombifrons) is on the right. You wlil notice a more pug-like nose on the Plains spadefooted toad and a pronounced bump between the eyes. Neither of those characteristics exist in the new Mexico spadefoot. Things can get tricky if these two toads hybridize however and this particular New Mexico spadefoot looks like it has some plains spadefoot influence to me.
