Oh, what a cutie.
I found a toad in my garden last year but only saw him once, hope he is still there.

He's pretty with that spotted skin. I hope we'll get more frogs, there aren't many of them around here.

Our toads come out after dark when it's been raining and gobble up all the slugs that appear on the patio. I do sooo love having these little creatures in my garden so I'm glad you have them too Peppersage.

Always god to see toads and frogs present! All I've got on my 'wildlife pond' is algae and 'water-boatmen'

That's a cute toad! There is toad who likes to sit outside my back door every night. If I'm not careful he will hop inside when I open the door!

It's just a plain toad i think, just it's warts just seem darker for some reason.
If it'll eat slugs, it's more than welcome.

I enjoy having them in the garden..I have taken quite a few pictures of them through the years. I think you have more toads if you don't use chemicals in the yard.
