The weekend started out slow..







Until I found this thing:

Then on our way home I saw this little yearling adder and I was reminded of how badly I need a proper camera.

It seems you're a lot better at Adder spotting than I am, Stefan!
I like the Harvestman picture.

I spotted the adder by pure luck, but I really can't believe how easily I spotted it, when all I saw of it the first time, is right there in the first picture. I returned to the spot three times after I always managed to scare it away by shoving a camera in its face, but at least I got a few photos of it.

Those Pinus conieus are scary Stefan, is that an invasive species???

No, they're actually endemic.

My sister's kids were making animals out of cones and they asked me to make one, too. They weren't too impressed by my first, a cone snake.

Stefan, the adder face shot is great. He looks so angry!!

ROFL at the pinus conieus... intimidating looking creature...

OMG, a CONE SNAKE.... I'm rolling....

I'm not 100% on the sexual dimorphism among juvenile adders, but if it were older, I'd be pretty sure he's a she.

A lot of great pictures again!
Love the adder pics Stefan!!!!

Not sure on this one...Didn't touch it just in case...

Stefan, is that - that adder - a venomous snake? It sure is scarey looking.
