Young Diamindback Watersnake (2) Young Diamondback Watersnake from Dallas area - My first time seeing this species. If you look closely there is a little beetle on him, which I think may be a lightning bug.
CHains 17 April 2024 108 of 366 I enjoy disc golf for many reasons, but among the top of the list are scenes like this one. Unfortunately the thick grass was not cooperating with my game, stopping discs in their tracks. Basket 15 at Towne Lake Disc Golf Course.
Water Moccasin (1) While in the Dallas area we visited a couple of parks. Didn't see a ton of wildlife but did come across this Water Moccasin hanging out right next to the boardwalk at the Heard Museum. I'm not sure why the head was so white like this.
You Had to Be There 8 April 2024 99 of 366 There was a solar eclipse today, you may have heard. We traveled to North Carolina in 2017 to see the last one. I took photos with my Minolta, too. I hope they turn out okay.
Flowing 10 March 2024 70 of 366 Today was a perfect spring day, and I paused to watch a small stream flowing in the sun. The switch to Daylight Saving time had no effect on gravity or UV rays or the wind. Amazing! Why are humans so afflicted by time? The #real time is in the circadian rhythm and the path the sun appears to take across the sky. For millennia our ancestors marked time by the phases of the moon and the arrival of seasons. These stupid clocks we are slaves to are lying to us.
