Sticking to the theme of appreciating the little things, and letting myself get excited again over small and fun things…

I saw a newt in the park! I was on a walk, stretching my legs and appreciating the cold sunshine, and nearly smooshed this cool dude who was (inadvisedly) hanging out in the middle of the gravel pathway, blending in beautifully with the rocks.

I repositioned him onto a leaf near the side of the path, apologized for the trouble, and took a quick picture for my own memory. And now, the blog’s memory!

Link to an article about the exact type of newt (I think) this guy is/was:
