Salamander/Newt Trail






Our friends who took us on this Salamander trail last year invited us back.  We were all thrilled to be on the look out for newts and salamanders.  It is a beautiful trail that in the neighbouring town, along the river, ravines and woods.  At the top of a waterfall is the jack pot.  We turned over logs and rocks to find lots of red backed salamanders.  Their little feet are so incredibly tiny, they amaze me.
We were all thrilled to see and hold the Jefferson salamander, which was huge! As big as Aria's head !
There was lots of time in the woods, despite the misty weather.  Followed by lunch and trampoline time.  Great day!
