Been a little while since I took these, the salamanders are from a trip to North Carolina and the frogs were found in and around Orlando.

Neat! I LOVE red efts of those newts. Did you know that the eastern U.S. was the origin of the entire adaptive radiation of salamanders? I didn't until just recently. Great pics.
