You gotta look up as well as down when walking the trails. This guy was hanging over my head. I think it’s a harmless black racer.
Does he think I can’t see him behind that stick?
A pretty silk orb weaver. These guys were all over the trails.
Spotted orb weaver. This and the one above are the two I see the most on the trails.
Next time I’m going to count how many of these I see down the trail. I’m guessing more than 50?
Up close.
A pretty type of flying bug, I don’t see many pink dragonflies around.
This guy was hanging in the port-o-potty in the parking lot.

A great oldie from Jim Stafford. He grew up in Winter Haven, Florida. Not too far from where I took these pictures. I never paid much attention to this song but now when I’m walking the trails I end up singing it.
Snakes are great, I love the picture of him hiding behind a very small leaf. I would count that as a successful hike to see so many cool things
Great images!

I have shown these photos to half a dozen folks…Amazing post.
Great shots of the snake! Well, all of them. The coloring on the frog and first spider are exquisite!
all of these critters are just beautiful! loved it!
Beautiful shots of these critters!
Thanks for the earworm (but no need to eel guilty, because I already hum it every time I walk our trails here in Oregon. Though here I see spiders and slugs, not so many snakes.) Guess if we’re going to have the joys of a green humid climate we have to put up with the critters who love it too. Wonderful pictures!
Wow! The Woodpecker is an impressive looking bird.
