Saw something cool while walking the dog. Finally!
I know, I know.....pics. or it didn't happen right? Well, I couldn't get pics, but hopefully you'll settle for a story.
We have a wetlands preserve area not too far from where we live, lots of ponds, sloughs, and weeds with paved paths running through it. This is where we take our dog for a walk 3 times a day. It is a little on the cool side today, mid 70's when I took Stewart out.
Walking along the path I almost stepped on an adult garter snake that had just caught himself a good sized toad. He was half in a gopher hole, and the toad was still struggling. I stopped to watch, and was reaching into my pocket to grab my phone so I could get a picture when the snake pulled it's meal back into the hole. It was very cool!
