...Well no, not really. He's just a really fat little toad that was sitting on the lit sidewalk in front of my house last night. I had taken at least a dozen photos of him, but when I went to upload them in my computer, I discovered that I had no memory card in the camera, grrr! Thankfully, the chubby little guy was still sitting there, like he was waiting for me, hahaha!
