newts


newts

I've come across a lot of newts along the Midstate Trail this year, presumably due to all the precipitation we've had. These two were hanging out together, until I tried to photograph them using my cell phone camera (hence the blur), at which point they raced away as fast as they could (which was not fast at all).

The rain yesterday produced some flooding along the trail. I could manage in most cases, but there was one spot where a stream had flooded the trail and I decided it was safest to remove my hiking boots and cross barefoot. This was actually quite fun!
