The most wonderful season of the year has arrived- that is to say, toad season. Toads have woken up and begun to call all throughout the US, and swarms of baby toadlets will climb to shore in a mere few weeks. Here we see American toads [Anaxyrus americanus], photographed in Knox County, Illinois by
Andrew DuBois.
trashfriend asked: Hey uh, I dunno if you've heard of this but I thought you should know. There's a yearly tradition in Queensferry, Scotland called Burryman Day, where they cover a guy in giant burrs and parade him through town, feed him whiskey and he brings you luck. There's a super good video on YouTube about it if you're interested. Hope you're having a good day~
