So, back to our stroll in the country. When I was up there, I went on a little hike on a clear cut trail on the property. At some point, I felt the ground go muddy underneath my feet, and I looked down. About an inch away from my foot was this little guy! Thank heavens I didn't step on him!!! He was just a baby, which you can see in the shot of me holding him in my hand. (I'm calling it a "he", but I don't really know.) I had never seen anything like this in nature before believe it or not! In fact, I didn't think it was real at first! I thought it was a toy. LOL When I saw it move and realized it was alive, I was SOOOOO excited! Sadly for him, that meant a photo shoot and, really, I manhandled him way too much. I'm sure he was very glad to be let loose. LOL But ya know, if he had just stayed still, I wouldn't have had to keep picking him up and moving him! LOL
Anyway, I brought him back to my friend Pam, who lives there. I was so excited to show her my find! As I was walking up to her, she said, "What did you find? Did you find a salamander?" with a big smile. I was like, "Hey! How'd you know????" She said they are all over the place up there. LOL
Regardless, I was SO excited to find this little guy. Look how BEAUTIFUL he is! Those colors! The spots are so bright and opaque on his little translucent body.
Moments later, Pam came to me with another one. An adult. There are a few shots of her here, too...the salamader, not Pam. (Again, I don't know that it's a she....but we were calling her the "mama". LOL)

From Wikipedia: The eastern newt (Notophthalmus viridescens) is a common salamander of eastern North America. Eastern newts dwell in wet forests with small lakes or ponds. They may coexist in an aquatic environment with fish, because their skin secretes a poisonous substance when the newt is threatened or injured. They have a lifespan of 12 to 15 years in the wild, and may grow to 5 inches in length. The newts are a common aquarium pet, being either collected from the wild or purchased. The strikingly colored (orange) juvenile stage, which is land-dwelling, is known as the "red eft".
Eastern newts have three stages of life: the aquatic larva or tadpole, the red eft or terrestrial juvenile stage, and the aquatic adult. The larva possesses gills and does not leave the pond environment where it was hatched. Larvae are brown-green in color, and shed their gills when they transform into the terrestrial red eft. The red eft is bright orangish-red in color, with darker red spots outlined in black. An eastern newt can have as many as 21 of these spots. The pattern of these spots differs among the subspecies. During this stage, the eft may travel far, acting as a dispersal stage from one pond to another, ensuring outcrossing in the population. After two or three years, the eft finds a pond and transforms into the aquatic adult. The adult's skin is olive green, but retains the eft's characteristic outlined red spots. It has a larger and wider tail and characteristically slimy skin.

Carrie says: Nature is smart to make the babies have this bright coloring as this is usually a warning to other animals saying "I am POISONOUS! Don't eat me!" I wonder if I got any poison on my skin when I was handling these? I didn't know they secreted poison when they were threatened, at the time I was handling them. I figured, "Kids catch them all the time."

You better think (think) think about what you're trying to do to me

Taken at school obviously.
To be perfectly honest, I think Katie has the best eyes in our year...they're so...I dunno. Going to get a macro of her eyes some day, stick them on my wall. lol.
That sounds kind of creepy.
The photo wasn't originally that out of focus. I editted the photo on the camera which allowed to me to set the focus and blur everything else. Fancy camera.
After all, he had just jumped and crossed over to this side of the drainage ditch to avoid me in the first place. I didn't even know he was there at first, so these photos were just pure dumb luck.

This is a very clever signage. We need more clever and witty signage in the world.
This was seen as we were crossing the border into Canada towards Vancouver from Seattle
