The Creatures that "found us" at the Pond- count 'em

After camping out the night before, with a small salamander(1), sandhill cranes(2), loads of mosquitos(3), and several(loads!) small bugs(4), we woke up to this glassy pond!


Loading in the boat without accidents...

A silly little frog(5)...                                         


   

The snails(6) were actually floating!

 Not captured in photo were: enchanting butterflies(7) and dragonflies(8), the millions of wee minnow fish(9), and the most blood curdling  and nastiest of them all were the black & brown  leeches(10) that found us no matter where we went- scream! We're all glad I didn't take pictures of the one very grande leech with babies attached...


Enjoy the outdoors while you can, Summer is almost over! Thanks for looking around my wee blog.




*Note to all nature lovers: All of the creatures caught this day were safely released back into the wild...
