I love seeing lizards and salamanders whenever I'm out in nature! I love the orange color of this one that seems to glow as well as the eyes that I think are really cool looking!

I had previously incorrectly identified this charming little one as a California newt (Taricha torosa) when I posted it, but have since changed the description.
Thank you to Ken-ichi for the correct ID, to scott.simono for concurring with him, and to Isa and Jessica from the EBRPD for vefifying the ID. =)

9444 version for portrait/vertical print
I previously made 4 x 6, 8 x 10 and 8 x 12 prints of this photo in the landscape/horizontal orientation using the first version of the photo that I posted back in January, but recently made 8 x10 and 11 x 14 portrait/vertical prints using this version of the photo shown here to see how it would look/turn out in this orientation in a large size. As you can see, this version of the photo crops off some of the tail, but the prints still looked good in this orientation too. The 8 x 12 of this version crops off more of the sides, but not the bottom and top.

9444 version for square print. Also can use this version of the photo to make vertical/portrait orientation and horizontal/landscape enlargements as well.
This version of the photo crops off some of the tail in the vertical/portrait orientation and leaves space at the top and bottom of the photo, but does not crop out any of the tail in the horizontal/landscape position, so this version of the photo works well to make prints in either orientation in addition to a square size.

I went out salamander hunting and to get some more photos of the overwintering ladybugs late in the afternoon, since the rain was coming in the evening.
