I found this eastern box turtle walking through our backyard. We think it was on a journey to lay eggs.

Found myself almost face to face with this lovely young doe on my evening walk.

Apparently from a quick search the rhyme doesn't work for S. America.
I dunno. Coral snakes range is apparently this -

And pictures of “South American coral snake” show a whiter looking yellow band. Looks just like the photo above. I wouldn’t get near that thing!

Me neither.

Red and yellow, can kill a fellow; Red and black, friend of Jack.

Viernum said that the rhyme is “fairly accurate for snakes in the U.S. but it fails with the Old World coral snakes and many New World species found in Central and South America.” In other parts of the world, coral snakes may have red bands touching black bands, have pink and blue banding, or have no banding at all.

Yes, even tough I was not sure what kind of snake it was I kept my distance - the coral came to mind instantly as it's kind of famous here in songs because of the black/red.

I was with my two daughters walking in a park and the snake was crossing the stone stairs.

Random ducks that I did not expect to find where I was ... also my first test of the new Topaz DeNoise AI version 3.1.1

I wasn't expecting to see two-headed ducks in Somerset until after the new nuclear power station was built. :eek:
Don't believe the TV broadcasts man, Vault 101 is closed, the nuclear waste is here and it is leaking more then a Margate Thatcher fan with prostate "irregularities"
