Without a doubt, the biggest ground hog I ever saw- about the size of a badger! This dude was 425 feet away from us!
Moments later, Scrappy found that SOMEBODY had had a meadowlark for a midnight snack in the soccer goal...
The woods was quiet and peaceful, and even a squirrel stopped to pose...
This little nut's timing pretty much sucks...
Here we are at the ravine, listening to falling acorns and hickory nuts.... Scrappy, ready to go?
BOWWW-ROOOOOOO!!!!!
Then we honest-to-God ran into a field full of people sweeping the field with nets! An entymology class, I was told. I tried passing Scrappy off as "a big, four-legged bug," But had one girl call him "a love bug." I answered, "He is that..."
And there they go! I guess we "bugged" them... ba-dum-DUM!
This was truly a picture perfect afternoon...
Scrappy adds a squished snake to his "dead reptile" collection...
Love bug, that's cute.
ReplyDeleteWhen I lived in Louisiana, I smelled skunk all the time! Whew! So not pleasant.
Or was that just the bayou...
DeleteGreat pictures. That is one huge ground hog is right! Wow. Lots of great Scrappy finds on this walk!
ReplyDeleteYeah, "the blind hog" found plenty of "acorns" that round.
DeleteLove the pics, we've been so lazy, ahem, busy lately that I haven't been out at all. Stupid ticks get me whenever I leave the house anyway! Hope all is well your way :)
ReplyDeleteHah, where we went today even ticks fear to tread...
