| | It rained, hard, all day, so I was quite reluctant to take out the camera.
I did get it out for the toad, and got one decent shot.
I hope I'll get pictures of the mountain wildflowers some other time.
On this trip, I saw bunchberry (cornus canadensis), starflower (trientalis
borealis) and wild lily-of-the-valley (maianthemum canadense) which were
all new to me as well as clintonia which I'd seen on Mt. Moosilauke.

| | Description :
| This big toad was right on the path, and was disturbed by our presence.
First he tried scrambling up the steep part of the rock to the left, then
slipped and flipped over backwards, before righting himself and heading
to the right (by which time I had my camera out). I was surprised by
his large size (about 4" from nose to the end of his spine), the very
pale cream color of his belly and by how slow and clumsy he was.
In hindsight, it was a little foolish to get out my camera in the
drenching rain, and I didn't do so again, although I really wanted some
pictures of the wildflowers. I resealed it back in the ziplock
bag, and it was safe and dry when I got home.
