Pretty sure the Norse had legends about this. (Also, I know I’ve posted a similar picture before, but I remain fascinated– we’ve been in this house three or four years now and never saw this behavior from the local toads until this summer.)

But not yet
This is probably the best shot I’m going to get tonight since it’s getting dark.
Hi there!
There are like five of them in various stages of molt right now. This is amazing.
Don’t mind me
…just climbing this tree here, getting ready to molt, all in broad daylight and stuff.
Why hello there!
Found this little dude eating bugs on my bedroom window when I got home from work last night.
Question for the lawn care enthusiasts
What’s the deal with the rings? Do I have faeries? Should I never walk into them at midnight?
Summer
I think I prefer these to the winter shots.
Really crappy pictures of a really cool thing
I stopped at Subway (heh) for lunch on my way in to OtherJob. The particular Subway I stopped at has two blind turns as you circle the restaurant from the drive-thru microphone to the actual window where you pay and get your food.
I made the first turn and had to slam on my brakes, because there was an honest-to-God red-tailed hawk just chilling in the parking lot two feet in front of my car. I almost hit him. That close. Scrabbling for my phone ensued, but the beautiful bastard flew away just as I was pulling up the camera app…
…to join his mate on the roof of another nearby fast-food installation. Two of them.
I spent a good ten minutes chasing them around the parking lot trying to get either a) a crappy picture of both of them together or b) a good picture of one of them and failed. Nonetheless, enjoy crappy long-distance taken-from-inside-the-car-through-the-windshield iPhone pictures of two really cool birds:
