Those are some fearsome looking bovine, love me a bovine stare down...
She had probably eaten recently...a little early to be bursting with youngsters. Plus, lots of frogs heard...
She was also rather well behaved, no musk, no strike, just hangin' out waiting for me to let go of her tail...
I really like the coloration of our common garters we have here in the PNW. Most of the other species aren't nearly as colorful....
that was freakin' crazy!At least when it's not 36 and raining or hailing.
several days ago....
I think you'd be in good company with most of my fishing buddys....I don’t mind the snakes as long as I see them well in advance. Do not like the surprise visits. And damn some blend in so well with the terrain too.
I'm actually looking for them!
Yeah that’s me tooI don’t mind the snakes as long as I see them well in advance. Do not like the surprise visits
During that absolute furnace heat wave like 9-10 years ago we drove down I5 from SEA to Portland. The cows on some of those islands- maybe Martin Island?- (your photos look like maybe some islands in the Columbia)- were just chillin' in water well over half-way up their ribs. Below them, you wonder if the CAPR were psyched to have their feeding flats busted up a little. Or if they were in heaven dining on cow pies....

The Whisk(e)y Dick
I was about waist-deep in the Deschutes at South Junction a few years back. Across the river, I spied what appeared to be a tree branch in the river near the opposite bank until I noticed it was undulating. I soon realized that it was a large rattlesnake! The river current combined with the snake's trajectory was going to bring it right to me. I have never been more grateful for a wading staff. It narrowly missed me.I don’t mind the snakes as long as I see them well in advance. Do not like the surprise visits
You know those golden bones were chuggin cow shit as soon as it splashed down
A certain swimming platform covered in bird shit on Green Lake, first heavy fall rain, guess who is chowing down on the runoff effluent? Green Lake Caprs. Big, Healthy looking, meaty golden bones, gobbling up that nitrogen-heavy gull and goose guano..
watch it! they are a stately species that, while they may be a little ways from home, carry themselves with the utmost class and grace...
no not really, but they're still fun to catch!
