Amazing Autumn Sunset





Usually pictures are worth a thousand words. This photo I took brings only one word to my mind.

Wow!

Snake-Black Runner






This snake had just been killed on the road. This snake was nearly 7 feet long, although it's hard to tell that in this shot. It's the first, and hopefully last of this kind of snake I hope to ever come across. If I'm correct, this is what is called a coach-whip or black-runner here in Mississippi. They will chase you down. I've heard also that they will whip you and thrash around wildly. I believe these are also poisonous and will bite! Update: This snake is not a coach whip or black runner. It is in fact a King snake. King snakes are beneficial as they eat rodents such as rats, plus they also kill other other snake species.

Summer Cotton tail Rabbit


One of our summer rabbits trying to make off with some goods near our garden! This one showed little fear as I was able to get close for some decent pictures. I even got a mini movie of this rabbit before it had enough of me and ran off.

White Tail Doe


This is one of our deer friends that I caught on the edge of where our garden was. I took this photograph of this Mississippi white tail deer through our back porch window, which explains the slight blur in the photo.
