Just thought I would post up a few pictures of my morning to share with those who weren't able to be there, I did manage to remember the camera today. I encountered this little newt in the woods this morning,luckily I didn't step on it... something about it reminded me of my youth, when this would have been brought home, observed in a terrarium environment,( mason jar with some wet moss or small aquarium), after which, if it survived.. would be eventually released back into the wild. Fortunately, my mother always knew best when that time was appropriate.....
Had I been the creature I was trying to imitate prior to this encounter, I doubt that it would have been any less studied, marveled at with a sense of wonder and knowing, or summarily eaten for a protein rich breakfast. I was satisfied however with merely studying, marveling and photographing...hungry though I was...
This fellow came along to critique my skills with the trumpet, he gave me a thumbs up and went back to foraging,lol, perhaps he thought I had a meal for him
