Herping at Peace Valley Lake

[aSnakeLovinBabe]

You most likely have not noticed that i have not been around as much this past week, so allow me to inform you that I have not been around as much this past week. Why? HERPING! I am fortunate to live about 5 miles from a gorgeous lake surrounded by woods and streams. So I took pictures! As well as walking around my yard and the boyfriends yard photographing spring flowers. I share them with you all here!

Unfortunately, no garters yet! Not a snake at all... actually...

My secret spot... a beautiful fallen log, I don't ever find anything in it but i always fantasize I will someday!


Little sludgehole full of frogs directly in front of the log:


A more artistic view of my favorite dead tree:


So... many... bugs!


Late Sunset


Was lucky enough to capture a shot of this Great Blue Heron gracing the lake with his presence. This male and his mate nest here... the fist day They were both right up close to me and I didn't have my camera!
