Squirmy de snake, and other animals

Sorry it’s been so long since I posted.  I‘ll be sure to do it more often.

Last year in our garden there was a little snake that lived behind the hedge, but when he finally came out of hibernation this year, he wasn’t so small anymore.

A few days after we rediscovered Squirmy, Mark and I went down to visit some horses that live down by the cow farm.  I had a photography assignment to take some pictures of animals, so I took the little camera with us.IMG_2203

Mark and I were coming back from visiting the horses again the next day.  We were riding our bikes up the street when this big doe ran across the road.  Just then two cars started coming down the street, so the deer made this spectacular leap for the fence.  She must have misjudged how big it was or something because she hit it instead of going over it.  But the speed from her jump rolled her over the barbed wire and she landed on the other side.  The doe kind of had this dumbfounded look on her face when she landed on the ground.  It looked really funny.  Then the deer just jumped up and kept running.  It was pretty cool.  Unfortunately, I didn’t have the camera with me.

Hope you guys have an awesome week, I’ll post again next Sunday.
