I think part of good earth stewardship is also taking care of the animals that inhabit our planet and ensuring their ecosystem is thriving as much as possible. I really never knew that coyotes could be seen in the daytime, but I guess they venture out into their playground in the daytime when they feel safe.

This little eastern yellow bellied racer snake was parked at our patio back door yesterday. This is a snake common to Texas and Louisiana. *Sorry about the quality of the picture. We weren't feeling it to open the door and get a clear picture, so through the glass window we took the pic.
Needless to say, we just let it leave on its own terms. Now I have to carefully move furniture out of under the patio cover and hope there's not a nest there.

For some reason this is the spring of snakes at my house. I just went out to my garage at 9:30 pm and was greeted by a copperhead snake. Copperheads are venomous snakes. I'm very freaked out because it's not common to see a copperhead near my house, much less in my house. This is only the second copperhead we've seen since we've lived here. How did I wrangle this deadly snake, you ask? After taking a picture as a memento, I took my big push broom and swooshed it outside until it was curled up away from my garage and closed the garage door after I got passed the anxiety of dealing with it. My only regret is I didn't push the snake out further away from my house. I hope it doesn't come back in. I really don't like my garage anymore.

Lol.... You have no idea, we do need some grass and garden attention....we have nearly 4 acres and the far back is getting really scary. I had to go retrieve the wildlife camera about 2 weeks ago and I almost couldn't get to it for all of the overgrowth around the tree I had it attached too. I kept thinking a spider was going to drop down beside me and fully expecting a snake to slither across my boots too as I had to get in between branches and overgrowth to balance to get to the tree the camera was on. I had my daughter do a spider check etc. after I came out of the overgrowth with the camera. Then I had to change for fear of poison ivy or poison oak too. Blimey, I don't like the country much anymore. I haven't loaded up the pictures yet but fully expecting to see all wildlife. Nighttime is very busy at the creek side of our property. I'll post new wildlife pictures when I get to it soon. I didn't realize we had so many snakes' species either.....I knew of the rattlesnakes, copperheads, coral and cotton mouths were here. The water moccasins are very common in the creeks and connecting rivers. I can remember jumping out of a river when I was younger and back into the boat that I was walking alongside of at the time when I saw a snake. That was in Arkansas when we were doing this river rafting trip. My dad was an avid outdoorsman and bass fisherman. Anything outdoors was his thing. He liked hiking and water skiing too, me too.
