Migrations

[maulkin]

For me, one of the most poignant themes of the Liveship Traders was the migrating serpents' discovery that their destination had been tragically altered and their long years at sea had been for naught. This reminded me of the many real-life animal animal migrations that are stymied by man-made alterations of the landscape. I came across another example this weekend; a migration of toads on the outskirts of my town that was forced to cross a road. Although many of the toads made it across, some had clearly been hit by careless motorists and were dead or dying. Here are a few of my pictures of these beautiful animals.
