I was going to post a pic of a goldfish....I recently went back to my old Photobucket and found a lot of old pics, but I love snakes too....so here is a snake that I "knew" from when I lived on the bayou. I called her Big Mama. She is a plain bellied water snake....also sometimes called a yellow bellied water snake. Most often confused as a cotton mouth moccasin and usually killed by people who don't know the difference, or by a lot of people who just don't care. This is a cottonmouth. You can easily tell by the facial markings....the bar thru the eyes. This is Ten Dogs. They also have vertical pupils but you don't have to get close enough to see that...you can easily tell by the facial markings. And non poisonous water snakes have vertical lines on their lower jaws. If you can recognize the four poisonous snakes found in the US, you don't have to fear snakes. It really isn't difficult. And, because I found this old photo....this is the goldfish I was going to post. I don't know why I caught it and put it in that bowl....most likely looking for a pair to spawn. This is a comet....they have a long, single tail. Actually, called a Sarassa Comet, which just means a red and white comet.

A few of our mountain valley’s wild horses. I took this on the road in front of our home as I was driving in one day. You can see more in my car’s rear view mirror.

Hmm, I know I’m not going anywhere. He’s stuck with me. I think maybe his 1948 Oliver 88 that his dad farmed with, but he’s going to have to get over today’s loss first. 🤠

I was walking by a small art store one early morning before it opened and took a pic of the inside through the window
