Creatures Great and Small 

 

Starting with small, really small, well--still in the shell.

 

 

 

Snapping turtle eggs, found while planting a large hydrangea on the slope near the basement door.  Amazing that the mom turtle waddled all the way uphill to lay her eggs.  Even more amazing to think the babes could get down to the lake.

 

 

 

 

Quite small milk snake simply looking for warmth in our dining room--Toby took him/her out.  Please don't use our house as a haven.

 

To large, really large---

 

Late yesterday afternoon Ned knocked on our door to say that there was a huge bull moose with a large rack (antlers) quite close to the path to the lake.

 

 

 

 

We went down 

 

 

and stood very close to him, got these photos, 

 

 

 

but when he started to turn around I was out of there.
