Random ramblings from the cluttered brain of a Brit ex-pat North Devonian trying to keep cool in the steamy summers and warm in the frosty winters of The Great White North.

Toad of Toad Hall
Meet Mr Toad... to be more precise, Mr American Toad (Bufo americanus).
He lives in my back yard with his family and friends.
Ah, awesome shot, he really blends nicely, doesn't he!? I appreciate you coming by and seeing my damselfly, yes, it is only a face, a mother could love but a treat I am sure your toad would love to get! LOL Have a good week!
I tried to post you a link to a little hotel I drove past a while back called the Wind In The Willows.. In Glossop Derbyshire... it was a charming place and one many stories could be written about.
Handsome fellow? Hmmmm - what is it about beauty being in the eye of the beholder? And a face only a mother could love? I'm catching up on your blog and enjoying all your wonderful photos. You have an artist's eye.
He lives in my back yard with his family and friends.
Handsome fellow, warts 'n' all.
Now that there is a TOAD!

ReplyDeleteI have never seen a toad like that before! WOW, he's impressive!
ReplyDeleteSo why not kissing him - or do you have a prince already? :lol:
ReplyDeleteI suppose they also offer some nice concerts for you!
ReplyDeleteSome family and friends you have to accept Warts and all....
ReplyDeleteThis is one large toad. Good pictures too.
Very handsome! Woot to the toad family! What wonderful neighbours you have! ;o)
ReplyDeleteHandsome? Toadally!
ReplyDeleteHmm...think I'd rather have my possum than your toad. Not too fond of either.
ReplyDeleteHe looks absolutely gorgeous. Awesome. I hope to come back and see more of his family.
ReplyDeleteToads are wonderful in the garden. They eat so many nasty insects. Nice shot.
