I was up the small rising hill at the back of the house
pulling Goldenrod (lovely flower – invasive weed) from our little blueberry
patch in the misty wet of the overcast when this little fellow caught my eye as
he did his lolly-gagger kind of walk – front legs working somewhat as one is
expecting to see but the rear legs doing a kind of a rolling up and forward
side to side motion as the hips and lower tail wiggled about like a
tad-pole. Scooping him (her?) up in my
hand I headed back to the house and let him free on the kitchen table while I
snapped a few quick photos. The loonie
was handy to give a bit of scale as to the size of this little amphibian. In a few short minutes back to the hill we
went, where I released him very near to where the alien had scooped him
up. Off he went on his business of the
day.
