Free At Last

This is the release of the little skunk from the flowerbed a few weeks ago.

A Hollow Shell

Is all that remains of the toad skunky ate in the flowerbed the other night. The ants seem to have enjoyed his leftovers. The circle of life at work.

Another Skunk In Flowerbed

Hard to believe but, I found another skunk in the flowerbed! This one was less stinky though. I took him down to the woods behind the pond and released him- the neighbors looked at me kind of funny. I think they are animal haters or something. They should be more considerate of our neighbors of the woodland realm.

Death Among The Elephant Ears

Just took this pic in my front flowerbed. It's 15 min. after midnight- what about, "Midnight Snack In The Garden Of Good And Evil" for a title? That particular toad over wintered in the water meter box. Note his left eye looks clear-not an illusion, only the bottom part was pigmented. I called him Hypno Toad. Very interesting encounter with one of our friends of the woodland realm.

I set a cat size port a pet crate near the porch with a piece of steak in it-I'll try to catch and release it, if it lives long enough- toads are very toxic.
