Although very different from his most recent entries, this sculpture from Duane Flatmo was the best of the lot once again. The metallic fish was made primarily from recycled baking pans of various shapes and sizes.
Found this guy as I was picking up some firewood for Saturday night’s fire. First time I’ve seen a scorpion in the wild. Sunday, while at the pond, we had a brown recluse looking spider sit next to us during …
After leaving Hell to Find Lake, Blake and I continued on down NF30 to my favorite pond. It was actually while I was looking at this pond on Google Earth trying to locate a name for it that I stumbled …
