I was just putzing as I do each day now..before I get down to the nitty gritty of any of a dozen or so projects..I am loving staying at home to be perfectly honest......so just pulling off some dead branches and general poking about in our woods...and I saw this..perfectly matched color to the maple leaves!

Not to blow your minds but also I accidentally dug this up a few weeks ago...thank GOD he/she wasnt injured..what a beauty!

What is that?

Beautiful salamander, I have seen them in the Tenn. mountains when we visit there
