I've seen robins do this, but I felt very lucky to catch this, even though the vid isn't that great. (click on picture to play video)

I managed to scare the little gator back into the water this a.m. I came around a bend, didn't see him, he didn't see me until the last minute. He turned tail and went right into the lake as soon as we spied each other.

The snake in a firepit photo reminded me of the time I took a walk in the woods during a family picnic. I was a teenager. Came up to the edge of a creek and stood in some gray sand just looking around. Noticed my ankles were getting really warm, and finally realized I was standing in the middle of someone's nearly deceased campfire.

I saw some kind of flying insect go near my beer. I picked it up and held onto it real good!
