A genuine smile!

What you get when you point a camera at a child and say “Smile.” I’m starting to wonder if I’m raising a baby pirate.
Not entirely wordless, but hey, it’s hump day and I’ll do what I want.

The Oakland Zoo is quite nice, not very big, but has a nice kids section. There’s a ski-lift you can ride around to see the animals from the air, though we didn’t think that would work with our little one so we skipped it.

Decided to do some work with the plants on our back porch so I picked up our grill cover which had been sadly not performing its job all winter but was instead lying on the deck. Upon reinstating the grill cover to its rightful position, I spied this little beauty. I’m pretty sure he (or she) is an Arboreal Salamander (Aneides lugubris), though I’m no vertebrate taxonomist.  Here you can see him with a couple of slugs who were also making their home in the dark, cool crevasses of the tarp.

I did a little more research and decided I don’t think he’s so cute anymore, and here’s why:


Crap, now I might have nightmares about salamanders invading the house from the porch.
