While digging around the foundation of the historic Veblen House (soil and landscape timbers had been pushed up against the wood siding--not a great way to preserve wood), I came across some salamanders.
One played a game of peekaboo, crawling under a dandelion leaf after I let it go."Snakes with legs" is one way to describe how they move, but their soft skin and improbably tiny feet confer an air of vulnerability.
