Snakes

Why, oh, why dids I resolve to face my fears nose first this year? And why isn't this just a cute little garter snake I could harass for an hour?

Okay... this is just crazy.  Why would anyone ever (EVER!) surround their toddler with a bunch of cobras?

There is no doubt that 81-year-old Patricia Delaney loves animals of all kinds. She loves all animals from the top of the food chain on down. She is especially into horses, but she can't ride anymore thanks to her Parkinson's Disease. Being confined in a nursing home has severely limited her chances of getting to interact with animals -- until her social worker came up with the idea of bringing a zoo to her.

The "Circle of Life" is not always pleasant.  It is, however, often quite surprising--as is the end of this video...

We're getting close to Halloween, so its time to brush up on the creatures of the night (imagine creepy music here).  While not particularly scary, this video highlights a few of these denizens of darkness.

Hey, Mom! Looks! I found a strings that moves all by itselfs! Can I keeps it?

This bad looking boy just isn't so bad as it looks. This is a garter snake -- a California Red Garter Snake. With those markings it almost looks like someone crocheted it!
