#1 Spring camping on the Chippewa Flowage in north central Wisconsin.

#2 Divide lake in northern Minnesota.

#3 Big Morel mushroom found last spring.

#4 My window screen after a neighbors firework show.

#5 My Grandson and my hand. I accidentally took a picture with my hand in the way of my daughter who is my first born. I liked the picture and have taken similar ones of my sons and now my grandson. It makes them look even tinier than they are.

#6 Me and a turkey. [I am holding the turkey!]

#7 My older son and a deer.

#8 My younger son and a deer.

#9 My brothers house after a flood.

#10 What a project to just change a radiator on my daughters VW.

Some are a little off topic but saved copies from my phone and had to do something with them.

Very interesting. I thought the mushroom was a honeycomb from a beehive!

Australia and the U.S are about the same size Carl. But we have far less population. It seems like everywhere you go in the US you're passing through a town/village or roadhouse of some sort. You just dont seem to get the same roadkill experience there as you do here either...There were a few places I felt right at home though. One of them was here...

MickR; I read the sign as "Battlesnake Area" that really woke me up!!

If it read that way, it would have had me on my bloody toes as well. Rattlers I can handle...Battlers...Hang on! I'm what's considered a 'Battler' here... But if they were Battlesnakes, I reckon I would have wanted a little bit more than the Bowie knife I picked up in Jackson, Wy, formidable as it may have seemed. .

Battlesnakes would scare me too!! I'm kinda guessing here, but people give Australia a bad rap sometimes for being home to so many venomous snakes, but; it's always been the case for me that snakes just want to get along and not mess with people. At least rattler's give you and audible warning. I've heard the sidewinder ones down South have a bad attitude. But a Battlesnake, one that's just slinking around, pissed off at the World for not having legs or hands, now that would be scary!!
Here's another photo from my trip I had on my phone. You can see the beautiful high desert landscape around the sign. And, yes, I said beautiful and I mean it!! There's just something about miles of sagebrush that I find very nice!!

By 'roadkill' you don't mean the weird serial killer thing, do you? AKA Wolf Creek?

You have to look out for the Battlecarls too, they're dangerous!!

No Carl, just the regular kind, not the 'Wolf Creek' kind. We don't have a monopoly on either kind though. It seems that the first kind is turned into bitumen faster in the US, and the second kind have less places to be 'disappeared' too .

Don, we just lay claim to having some of the most venomous and aggressive snakes in the world. Not all of them. But I've always thought of the Rattlesnake as a frendly sort of a bloke for the very reasons you stated. None of our snakes do that for ya, they just go to town on ya, just for the fun of it.

I like the name "Death adder", it's no more information needed kind of name!
