Nature Photo Challenge # 28 – Wild Animals

Nature Photo Challenge #28: Wild animals

***

We don’t have any huge wild animals here, but I have photos of a few smaller ones. I know we have skunks, opossums, coyotes, and small deer, but I’ve never seen but one. It was a coyote running across the road as I was driving. My daughter saw a raccoon in the downtown area not long ago. I had no idea those were in this area. Of course there are birds, but I didn’t include those this time.

Here is a turtle we found in our front yard one day. He walked around awhile, then my husband took him down to the lake by our house.

Here’s a couple of prairie dogs. We have them everywhere, sometimes even in our yards. They’re cute I think.

We also have jackrabbits . These were in my aunt’s yard one day.

Maybe not a wild animal, but tarantula spiders are pretty wild I think.

We have snakes, but hardly ever see one. Just happened to see this one.

ONE WORD PHOTO CHALLENGE – INSECT

https://jennifernicholewells.com/2017/08/20/this-weeks-challenges-august-20-26-owpc-ww/

  • Moth
  • Mystery Bug
  • Cricket
  • Grasshopper
  • Wasp
  • Praying Mantis

I like taking photos of all kinds of insects and spiders. Spiders aren’t insects, though, so didn’t add any of those.

The mystery bug…we never did find out what it was. It was strange looking, and we were invaded by them one spring. The praying mantis was looking like he enjoyed posing for his photo!

SEVEN DAYS OF NATURE CHALLENGE – DAY 6

Here it is day 6 of the challenge already. It’s been fun finding photos of nature that I’d taken. Thanks to Tildy, of  The Beespeak (Life Lessons From the Beeline), for inviting me to join in the fun. Her blog and lovely photos can be found here . If you’d like to post some nature pictures, feel free to do so, and title it the same.

And one more, just for fun… a toy gopher we put out in a dirt pile, just for a joke! 🙂
