Splendiferous Amphibious

Just before midnight, torrential rain not long eased to a drizzle, and Sam and I were releasing a mouse Thumper had brought home back to the woods (use a shoe or a walking boot, they instinctively run into the boot everytime).

The rain had transformed everywhere into a magical world of slippery beasts. Toads, newts, snails.... We tiptoe'd by torchlight all the way out and back.
