I was surprised by this American Toad while I was gardening in the backyard.
It must be attracted by the mosquito hanging around near one corner of the yard.
Managed to coaxed it to lift up its chin for this photo.

reminds me of a politician taking offence at a question from the press - love the detail in the eye

Never thought of it that way but as you pointed it out, I agree with your observation.
