So there I was crawling along under the bell pepper canopy over at Tonopah Rob’s vegetable farm looking for crickets to photograph when I stumbled upon this Colorado river toad hogging up the path. He tried staring me down, he tried intimidating me with his stalwart presence and purposeful stance, but I said, “ribbit” and he simply stepped aside and left me to my hunt for crickets. What a nice toad he was.
