“Like music and art, love of nature is a common language that can transcend political or social boundaries.”
– Jimmy Carter
While moving pots around on the old bench at the side of our lawn, I discovered a cute creature I'd not seen here before:
a California slender salamander. When I first saw it, I thought, "Does that earthworm have a tiny snake face or have I had too much rum?" Then I saw the miniature legs and feet, and was fascinated. I posted a picture on Twitter, and
@VisitOceanside commented, “What a cutie and so good for your garden. Let's hope he has a big appetite. #naturalpestcontrol”.
