Pasque flowers merrily in the sun, sprouting amid fallen branches and withered leaves after the winter.../Vår i naturen, backsippan tittar fram i solen, bland kvistar och vissna löv efter vintern.../Primavera en la naturaleza, pulsatilia asomando al sol, entre las ramas caídas y las hojas secas del invierno...(DSC_4350-4)

This little guy is about 2 inches long and the juvenile, terrestrial, stage of the Eastern Newt.

I always look forward to finding Red Efts on our annual West Virginia vacation. This one posed for a photo shoot. Was nice for the grandkids to get a chance to let it crawl on them as well.

Some much needed rain brought the red efts out into the open during the day.

Ude på molen ved Lystbåde havnen, sad Kaj og Bøje og nød den smule sol, der var kommet frem her, efter dagens regn.

Out on the pier at Lystbåde harbor, Kaj and Bøje sat and enjoyed the bit of sun that had come out here, after the day's rain.

Terrestrial Stage of the Eastern Red Spotted Newt (Notophthalmus viridescens)

The eastern newt (Notophthalmus viridescens) is a common newt of eastern North America. It frequents small lakes, ponds, and streams or near-by wet forests. The eastern newt produces tetrodotoxin. It has a lifespan of 12 to 15 years in the wild, and may grow to five inches in length. These animals are common aquarium pets, being either collected from the wild or sold commercially. The striking bright orange juvenile stage, which is land-dwelling, is known as a red eft.
