Wow a lovely find Christine, and a great image from this salamander, and if you've seen three, I suppose the population is doing well BV

I haven't seen one of these in years, then again, I am out west... Perfect shot in its moist habitat.

Quite common in the slate-bottom creeks here. Nice capture.

Well detailed capture. I had no idea salamanders were so long (as it almost looks like a snake). V.
