Look What I Found

So I thought maybe the boys would get a kick out of this.  I did not take this picture, but this is what I came across tonight just outside my front door:
I looked it up and found out it is a "ringed salamander".  Apparently they are endangered and rare, and seeing one is quite uncommon.  This is actually the second sighting I've had of one of these.  The first time, a few years ago, it got into my apartment!  I just scooped it up with a plastic cup and set it free outside.  They are shy, reclusive, and non-poisonous.   Nature can be fun!  Except for gators.  And wasps and hornets.  And spiders are kind of creepy too.  And I'm sick of moths.  And mosquitoes.  Never mind, nature sucks.
