A cute squirrel nest brought my offroad electric cart to an immediate stop.

Every time I see evidence of beaver chewing my uncle's retirement fund (he planted pine trees 10 years ago on some acreage in east texas), I am amazed at how "human" it looks. If we had dropped 10,000 beaver into New Orleans they would have repairs the levies in a week.

How often do you get so close to a black widow that you can see the thread coming out of the back end. Spring Break is a great time to hike and take photos - not deer season - not too hot.

Finally my children got to see a Pronghorn Antelope in the wild while driving home from Santa Fe, NM. I am always surprised by how many people don't recognize the animal, don't think it is native, and of course are shocked to learn it is the 2nd fastest land animal.

I have been enjoying walking ranches this spring. Anybody have an idea of what type of snake this is? It didn't have a rattle that I could see. I got up pretty close to it with my point-and-shoot camera and it didn't coil and bite me on the nose, but someone told me it is a type of rattlesnake. I don't think so.

I love the "surprise" factor of free range habitat. I watch every deer all year and have never seen this buck before. If only he shows himself in daylight.
