Oh, I would have loved to seen him...never heard of a Fowler's toad before - love all his little warts! Wonderful shot, Ruth...this is a fine example of never having your camera far away from you - even when chit-chatting with a neighbor! :) Well done on all counts! #8682651

Ruth- He is a cute little guy but seems to be a little on the camera shy side. Still you got a gorgeous picture of him with the colors and features.

Have a wonderful day my friend. #8684523
