A Toad, a Cat, and a Whirligig

Was out this morning looking for some subjects for the first day of 365 project when I noticed this guy swimming for its life in a large plastic container that was partially filled with water. The sides were to slick to climb and the water was quite cool. So I rescued it. Since it was cold and exhausted, it was a pliant subject. In my garden, Etowah County, Alabama (IMG_4219)
