When you truly love someone, you love them warts and all (and as the second image shows, American Toads (Anaxyrus americanus) have lots of warts). I spotted these amorous amphibians earlier this week at Prince William Forest Park in Triangle, Virginia.

Haha. 🙂
Great photos, Mike. My wife has a “toad abode” in her garden and when the toad appears to eat the many flying pests, she refers to him as her handsome prince.
Beautiful.
Fabulous photos, Mike! Your handling of the light in these images is especially wonderful.
