Gotta love the FALL

After Hurricane Irene the first thing I found was these caterpillars. They have grown lots since then.

Here is a picture of a frog and a toad that I pulled from our ditch after Hurricane Irene blew through.


Dad took us fishing tonight. He took us to the pond with very little fish but lots and lots of turtles.

Several weeks ago we found the grand daddy salamander he was over 7 inches long!

In our backyard sitting on the fence!!

Found a locust and my dad let me keep it over night and in the morning it had shed it's skin!

Catching Up

Lots to post. Been busy with first grade! School year almost over.

My dad found a tiny turtle at work. It is a yellow-belly slider. They love to swim so after pictures we drove to a pond and let him be free.

Finally caught one here at the new house. Didn't see many last year when we moved in but this year I found them.


This is a strange bug. Don't know the name yet but found in the backyard near some plants my mom planted.


Did I mention? We moved last spring, still in Virginia but a bit further south.
