Cool Nature Photos

[MossRoad]

About 20 years ago we were out in Yellowstone for a few days. One day we were heading east out of the park towards Cody, WY. There was a very nice double rainbow to our left. It lasted a good 45 minutes. The right end was almost always visible and moved along the fields as we travelled. It was probably the best rainbow we've ever seen. I have photos of it somewhere, but they are on paper, not digital.

We had a double recently where both rainbows were super clear.

It changed location as we traveled home. At one point it was ending about where our property was. But as we got closer to home it ran away

Years ago in Vermont, my coworker and I were heading over the mountain we both lived on. At the top of the mountain there was a small ski area that was owned and operated by the local college.

They were making snow as we were going by. We came around one of the corners and looking up, we saw a rainbow that was in a full circle around the sun.

Were were seeing the sun reflect off ice crystals that were in the air from the snow making equipment.

Everything you ever wanted to know about rainbows...

I work with a guy that dragged me out of the office a couple years ago to see a rainbow. He was amazed at it and then it started to become a double and he went nuts. WOW!!!!! I asked if he'd ever seen a rainbow before? He said only a couple and never a double. He was 62 at the time! I told him I see at least half a dozen rainbows every year since I was a baby. He didn't believe me. I whipped out my phone and went to the "Raibows" album...


Here's a few. (click to enlarge)

It's becoming unusual not to have deer around while out working on the yard or shared road.
We have seen so many fawns, we may have to start charging admission.
Very hard to grow anything since it all gets eaten if not caged or fenced.

Found this little guy on a trail a few years ago...

A family member that's a turtle guy said he thinks it's a river cooter.
Cute little thing. We moved it off the trail in the direction it was going.



And the world's smallest squirrel!

I walked out of the house Thursday morning around 10am.

There was a Momma and two fawns hanging out by the edge of our property. Couldn't get my camera opened in time to get a photo before they scooted down the property and put of site.

I have the same problem but here it is not deer, it is the hundreds of quail. They are busy scratching away all day long; any seeds I plant just get eaten.

Here we can't find a quail anymore. Hear them in the distance sometimes but me thinks its the ghosts of past quail hunters...

I haven't heard one here since maybe I was in my 20's.
