      Beautiful little things aren't they, especially this dark colour with lighter spots. I quite got in to salamanders when visiting PA. Posted 4 years ago

      Thanks Paul - although it was here and gone in a second, pictured in this shot fleeing the scene. I managed this one image before it disappeared once again in to the leaf litter. Posted 4 years ago

      Thank you and glad you enjoyed. A good excuse for crawling around on a forest floor (which I love doing ha ha). Posted 4 years ago

      I does in this shot, I see what you mean. The angle I happened to be at as it decided to give me no time to admire its beauty and uniqueness and shot off like lightning in to the leaf litter. The rascal. Posted 4 years ago

    I just found one today, Ruth! I was thrilled!
    Northern Slimy Salamander (Plethodon glutinosus) Under the bark of a rotting log on a moist forested trail. At Hidden Pond Songbird trail in Murray County, GA. I was only able to pull off one shot before it dropped into the leaf litter and disappeared! Geotagged,Northern slimy salamander,Plethodon glutinosus,United States,Winter
