Over this past summer me and five of my closest friends rented an entire three story house upstate in

lake George. Our house wasn't actually in the town of lake George, but actually inside a community called "tripp lake". We had the house for an entire week and also had planned how we would be spending our time for the whole week. Our first night there we had all spent so much time in the car throughout the whole entire day that when we arrived we immediately divided the rooms accordingly then afterwards, going to the nearest market to get all the beer that we could carry. Shortly after we returned to our home away from we celebrated the official start of our long awaited summer vacation until we could no longer keep our eyes open.

The next morning we wake up to the aftermath of our first night.  

After a long morning of outlandish recreational activities (along with tidying up the house a bit) we went for a casual stroll down on of the dirt roads through the community and found a seemingly infinite amount of tiny vibrant orange salamanders. Everywhere we stepped we were almost crushing a good handful of these beautiful little creatures. I was fortunate enough to have had my macro lens attachment on me, otherwise I wouldn't have gotten to mess around with taking close up shots of these little critters.
