Yep, big snakes in those swamps too...

It seems this python's appetite was bigger than it's stomach...tried to eat a decent sized gator...

Although the gator perished, it caused the snake's stomach to explode!

Now that is, or I should say was, some snake!  

Here's a comparatively small 17-foot African rock python starting to dine on a young gazelle.

Two fawns whose pictures were taken about two weeks ago from inside the house and were "Outside My Windows".

First two pics - fawn one







Second one a little older than the first.

Dave:

After a run of reptilian predators, your remarkable photographs of the two fawns are welcome indeed!   8)

Just to add a new pic - we get every morning a superb show of Morning Glory flowers - many are dark purple but these light colored ones are exquisite - so delicate.

I know - flowers get photographed a lot - but hey - in not so many week's time I'll be looking back on summer and wishing it was not winter coming!!!

A beautiful shot, Chris.

Here is a recent photograph of one of the beauties which grace my life -- our older daughter in an unguarded moment early one morning at the cabin.

Thank you, Chris.  

That lovely lady has her mother's beauty, strength, and intelligence.  I long ago stopped referring to her and her equally beautiful and gifted (but totally different) sister as my "step-daughters" and am now simply proud to consider them and their own little families as my own.

When I consider some of the situations in which I have found myself in years past in some of the "armpits" of the world, and when I contrast those times to my life today, I am humbly and gratefully amazed.

Life is good!

Hi All haven't been around for awhile. Working on the house in the mountains no computer  so alot of catching up to do. Richard looks like a peaceful place. Your Daughter looks like she is enjoying the solitude.  Chris the flowers are beautiful and the winter is on its way. I saw your pictures of the  Humming  Birds  and until this trip upstate had never seen a live one .  Saw a bunch of them this trip. One right in my face. It was amazing.  Dave the fawns are great. Plenty of little ones this year. Also 3 hen Turkeys with 13 little ones visited me regularly.  As for reptiles I don't like them at all and hopefully I will only see them in pictures. Dan

Hi from me too Dan - good to see you drop back in.

I think working on a house up in the mountains must be very good for the soul :)
