A Snake in the grass...

Look at this beauty!  I forget about snakes.. until I see one - then I usually jump 10 feet in the air, once I thought I was grabbing the garden hose and it was a snake.. it still sends shivers' down my spine.   My sons friend caught this and I was thrilled- It's not often you get to take the exact photos you want.

I forget about all creatures in the woods util I see signs, poop usually.  Other than bluejays - that seem plentiful this year, a few other birds.. turkeys and the occasional deer I rarely see creatures, I guess because of the dogs & thats o.k., I don't have deer eating my garden in the middle of the night or raccoons hanging around anymore because of the dogs.

I have seen on trail cameras many beasts! Beavers, porcupine, bear, coyotes, foxes, turtles, deer, moose all wander the woods, I'm grateful I've never come across some.  Once toddler Storm and I drove around a corner and nearly into a MOOSE!  Storm pointed, eyes wide yelled  "What that!???"  Me, eyes really wide as the moose turned to look directly at us could only muster: Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.  It could have easily stomped on the roof of the car, fortunately it did not.  I know not to mess with creatures,  I watched a documentary about Turkeys long before they became my neighbours..  you don't want to be chased by wild turkeys, They run from the dogs but they can be very protective and the claws are as large as human fingers with strong SHARP pointy nails - OUCH. ! I had a goose chase me, bite my toe,  a squirrel chased me down a busy street in Yorkville once, yesterday I saw a beaver attack a family on a share- too close to it's dam... nature in the woods or elsewhere is unpredictable.

What have Canadians and Canada always been known for? Canadians are known (around the world) for being friendly, helpful & kind. Canada itself - is known for being beautiful, spacious  & CLEAN.  Known mostly for our beyond beautiful lakes and woods. There are a few videos circulating that have Canadians upset, naturally.  Immigrants doing things we don't do here.  If we mention this we are suggested to be racist', it has absolutely nothing to do with race and everything to do with lack of education of the country you are in, & lack of knowledge of the rules'.  Rule number one, we don't do number 2, in public places like public transit or public beaches. I am not making this stuff up and refuse to be shamed for sharing.  Who thinks that's o.k.?  I have seen videos of immigrants taking a goose into their apartment with the guy saying "You can't just go kill geese here..", videos of them fishing with nets catching salmon & the guy telling them what they are doing is illegal, yet they kept at it.  A woman yelling at an immigrant washing his clothes in the lake, she was asking him to stop "as we like our water clean and don't do that here."  Some comments telling her - you're over reacting, IS SHE!? One look at The River Ganges in India should prove to you, she is not over reacting.  Most recently - a bunch of immigrant men were caught throwing huge slabs of cement off the side of the road I a rural area, they got caught and some guy told the neighbours and they all came and made them pick it all up & back in their truck! GOOD! They do, begrudgingly stating that "it's not garbage" just giant slabs of cement.  Have you seen the farmer who goes through garbage dumped on his property takes his tractor and then drives it to the homeowners and dumps it at their door? SEVERAL times.  SPEAK UP!   New immigrants doing stuff all illegal to the rest of us BUT we also understand how important it is to keep Canada clean, beautiful &  our especially our VERY VALUABLE (just ask Dough Ford) waters clean!  So this could be considered a racist post  by some... some who I would bet rarely spend time in nature catching snakes, looking at bear & deer poop.  

Nature is unpredictable, nature is more vulnerable that most realize - another viral photo a moose dead, literally covered in thousands of thicks. Nature doesn't need humans destroying more.  No, no-one wants our river to look like or be used as the River Ganges IS.  Look at the photo below an then tell me I'm racist - just because I don't want  anyone uneducated on our ways & traditions & LAWS  to abuse our land, water or SYSTEM. 

I was enjoying my Jesus bookmarks so much.. I painted more.  :). Enjoy this day the Lord has made - pick up and garbage you see - or at least point it out to the person who dropped it & tell them to PICK IT UP - Keep Canada clean
​Enjoy this day the Lord has made.
