I like that Salamander. Very nice find! I've never seen one like it. I grew up on the central coast near San Luis (SLO town) and we had the red ones with rough skin.

I went back the next day to try and find that solare, but after crisscrossing the area again about 20 times without luck I gave up and started looking for ants. No sooner did I locate the first ant nest and reach down to start collecting that same solare moved as I reached. LOL. You just never know....
Anyways, I took about 20 minutes of video, of which this is just a short snippet. It's in situ, but she knows I'm there (20 feet away) and is very pensive.
