I was out in Steamboat shooting commercial photography for a developer, I took the kids hiking one afternoon, and we came upon a stream where this tiny— I mean, like two inches tiny— creature seemed to be dead by the stream. My son poked at him a bit with a stick, and we realized he wasn't dead, so we kind of dried him off and set him up on a rock where he put on a grand show—hissing at us to, I guess, show his gratitude for our having saved his life.
