I'm sure they've been around before, and it must be that I was out when the sun was almost down. I moved the little toad house I had from the back to the front where I saw him. Maybe he'll hide there during the day. Pic isn't good as it was too dark already, but you can see its shape. Attachments: Quote \| Reply \| Report
