I was called outside to inspect a yard toad and the foul little man IMMEDIATELY humped my bare foot
I mean no disrespect to prior toads OK? But this lady has to be the cutest toad I've seen all summer. Looked and felt like a little ball of dough. VERY CUTE FACE! Tiny, unimpressive hops & no reaction to being lifted for pictures. Moved her off the trail and she just sat there. Amazing specimen & perfect in every way. I'll remember her forever
Happy Sunday from Gazebo Joe!
Thanks I feel safer now

Life is full of fleeting encounters; sometimes you only get a glance at a toad’s soggy butt cheeks before they’re trundling off into the summer night. This western toad [Anaxyrus boreas] was found on a country road by photographer Matthew Gruen.
