Little Red Man
Went up to the local hills again today to cut some firewood.
It was snowing, then hailing, then raining, then snowing again. Brrr!
It was all worth it for some of the fabulous shots I got that I would never find down here back in town.
This little newt sort of guy was found inside some dead wood.
He is a California Newt.

micmac
You lucky girl,this is farout,fantastic macro.
Greg Halliday
Somebodies face needs a good wash ;-) Again, I love the background having enough detail to give location without being distracting. I reckon Michelle might be right, he looks like one of our gecko’s, but it doesn’t sound like the right environment. Gecko’s are normally in warm climates.

very nice focus here. great shot.
Tiffany Blank
WOW great macro. Hes soo cute. He kind of looks like a red newt but very darling
Brett Foster
He’s a newt for sure, not a gecko. This one is a juvenile, sometimes referred to a “red eft”. They develop a pattern on their backs when they mature. Google “eft, newt, lizard, image” and you find a mature version.
Great shot by the way, such a cute little fellow!
Natalia Campbell
oh my, that is one funny looking creature…..its a fantastic capture and an awesome macro! :-)
Kenny Gulley Jr.

Vincent Vartor...
Very original. Not sure what it is, but I like it!
Phil Threlfall
So what exactly is this?,,,, and while we are at it, what is a newt exactly?... animal, reptile, insect?
Good shot by the way.
Ellen
Maybe a new sort of animal. I have never seen it, also not on TV. Maybe you will become rich with this photo :) Very beautiful!!
Leah Highland replied
It’s just your basic Califonia Newt.
I wish I had discovered something new. LOL!
Thanks Ellen.
