Hiding

As I was packing the car early for our return, I noticed a movement on the ground. I thought it was an unusual spider at first, but then realised it was a toadlet, probably about 1cm in body length. I reached for my phone, but it had gone into a crevice, concealed by a small plant. So I peeled a leaf back, manoeuvred the phone, and clicked. This is the result.

I think it’s a good metaphor for our situation on the horribly named “freedom day”. Fortunately we can rely on a more salubrious crevice than the young toad. I wish this youngster well.
