August 26: Always nice to come across something new (to us) almost literally on our own doorstep, a Blue-spotted salamander, or maybe that should be Blue spotted/Jefferson salamander, as the very informative Ontario Nature website explains. Click here. I’ve included a small photo for scale – from tip to tail, if straightened out, I gauge it would be about 8cm – but such wonderful creatures are great to enjoy when pictured larger than life!
