Davenport, California.
Wow what a scene, that would make a perfect painting.
It was pretty and a great day hanging out with @Auroradream.
I'm glad you both had such a wonderful time, all these pictures keep reminding me I need to go somewhere new.
@tiredandchill I love the perspective on that! Plays tricks with the mind.

Took pics of these little guys during my walk
Great photos, @kymmy44. I particularly like the pattern on the snails shell juxtaposed against the wood.
@HarleyGirlKate have you ever seen snail zombies? They get infected by this flatworm parasite, and it makes their eyes look like caterpillars so that birds will eat the eye and then the parasite lives in the bird and then when the bird poops it out the snail eats the poop and gets infected again, the circle of life haha
Thanks! @HarleyGirlKate 🙂 @lonelytauros that’s so fascinating and disturbing at the same time lol
@lonelytauros: I've only seen them in documentaries, not in person.
Yes, it can be rough out there in the Circle of Life. I remember thinking that a couple of weeks when I was out hiking and what was in the middle of the trail but the entire rather fresh leg and thigh from a deer. Interestingly, at least to me, there were some lion tracks and a bunch of coyote prints all around it.
I've heard another one particularly disturbing:
Spinochordodes tellinii
I suggest impressionable people not to watch videos on the subject! Poor crickets and grasshoppers!
Grasshoppers taste good though.
@kymmy44 thank you I’m not an entomologist, but I do like to study insects. They fascinate me! Maybe I’ll post some other interesting facts about some others later!
@lonelytauros that would be fun!
