Mother's Day Snake Count Pictures.
It was hard to take pictures because of the sun. Making it really hard for seeing the snakes in the view finders. It was a blast until the snow came but can't wait till the next count. Actually I will be out befor that and make a point to stop by and look around.
I am off to BC this weekend so I will do some looking around there as well. But here are some pics, enjoy.
One of the rattlers we found.
My 3 Girls with one of the garter snakes that we found. These guys are hard to see and catch. We only found 2 the whole day.
One of the wolf spiders we found. We only came across one widow and she was a big girl.
This was a big girl with an attitude.When she went off every one herd her.
I will post more pics as soon as I upgrade my photo hosting threw sSNKAESs. Ran out of room.LOL

Wierd how there is all the sand then the prairies.
Some other wildlife in the area.
Closer shot of the big girl with an attitude.
Sand and more sand. Unreal how much there was. For not being in a desert.
Closer shot of the garter snake.

Did you bring any of that sand home with you? I'm sure you did, check the kids shoes and socks, hair, ears, pockets etc....
Yeah, the people who live around here take the Great Sand hills for granted. It does look like we are in the middle of Arabia or Africa at certain areas - but after the oil and gas industry moves in, it will probably look more like Iraq or Iran.
Glad you had a good time, nice pictures - thanks for posting them.

I sent that picture to some environmental friends and some politicians. This is what I said...
Quote:
so I says
A snake friend visited from Ontario, Jordan Milgrim - 16 years old, and we made sure to go to the sandhills.
Here is one of the pictures he took that I think turned out amazingly. Notice no oil or gas wells in the picture. That would have wrecked it.

Great picture Jordan!

Oops, posted from Sheila's account again.
Doesn't really matter. We both think the picture is spectacular - and would make a good magazine cover.
