Twins,

My dog got into a scuffle with this Australian eastern brown snake and lived, as I got him to the vets in 8 minutes for some anti venom.
It would be within the top 3 most venomous in the world I believe

Through a window. But the light is nice.

@SFMCfranky great shot

Gopher snake. Nearly stepped on the feisty little fella! He put on a pretty good show of bluffing like he was venomous. Hissing, flattening his head to look like a rattler, looking ready to strike...

Thank you, Sir. I just got lucky. I saw them through a window and was able to sneak around a corner without spooking them. Right after I took the snap, they closed their wings.

Saw this seagull smoking a cigar on my run last weekend…

Looks like a pair of white tailed kites have decided to nest in a tree on the Western edge of my property. They’ve nested back there before and raised at least one chick to adulthood. Here’s wishing them luck again this season.

Reminds me of a song from the early days of the internet...
