A place to discuss all of your outdoor activities. Hunting, fishing, hiking, camping, and whatever else you do out in the great wilds.
This is the kind of weather we have in the midwest. Storm chaser/photographer Jeremy Holmes took this breathtaking shot last night in Nebraska. Like "Jeremy Holmes photography"... Wow!
I'm not sure whether I've mentioned the boy backpacking but since I'm typing I'll put up a thread. He's been out along bridleways and rural footpaths and he likes it. I've carried camping gear and he likes nights out in a tent too. We're building up from there. Being seven he can't carry...
I spent some minutes watching one this morning. They're 5 or 6 inches long, territorial, they live mostly on insects all year round, it's winter here and fewer insects to be had. They need to eat around 15 insects a minute throughout the day. This one was either side of a busy road into town,...
My mum and dad enjoying one of their many trips on their narrow boat. It was my hubby's fault, getting my dad interested in boating on the English inland waterways. :wah: He and my mum loved it !
I witnessed an unusual thing today when walking Zeus. For the last two mornings I have noticed a bird that has been fluttering around the side mirror on a car. Today I stopped and took some photos. At first I stood at the rear of the car watching this self-infatuated bird peck at the mirror...
From Proverbs I believe. Most of us earthlings consider them to be a serious pain in the butt. They’re really tiny but there are more of them on our planet than any other creature including us. For every earthling alive right now there are about 1.6 million ants. Now that’s a real majority. ...
We spent a few days outside last week doing some metal detecting on the property and although we didn’t find anything noteworthy, we always have a lot of fun with that gadget! I think it’s the potential of the unexpected that is so engaging ... hearing that beep go off sets off renewed enthusiasm...
Because of an intense interest in the natural world, I tend to create a lot of posts about nature and things of natural beauty as well as things of a less than natural beauty. I decided to go ahead and make one thread in lieu of creating many individual threads. My favorite of these waterfalls...
Tude, Thanks, you reminded me of these... Hitler Cats | Hitler.co.uk (http://www.hitler.co.uk/hitler-cats.html) Cats That Look Like Hitler! (http://www.catsthatlooklikehitler.com/cgi-bin/seigmiaow.pl)
This is the moment a group of tiny caterpillars formed an incredible 17ft long convoy to cross a road in the Kruger National Park. Some 136 caterpillars made the single line and wriggled top-to-toe across the road, linked by a thin silk thread which set their path. And their safety-in-numbers...
This small Virginia Pine in our woods decided to grow in an amusing curlicue instead of straight and tall. Maybe it wanted to be a french horn instead of a tree! I don't know what conditions would exist to cause it to deviate from the norm like it has but I always chuckle when I pass by it. I...
Great photos! I think the first 3 are the best ... a little spooky looking. Seeing these great flocks change direction and the murmuration twist & undulate in the sky is an amazing sight but one which I haven't seen in a while. I don't know if there are fewer starlings or if I'm just not in the...
This Is the forecast for Friday... I'm In that dark blue area where It'll be It's worst... I'm due for 7 Inches..... but that's enough about my sex life for now... Click on pic to enlarge
Yikes! Don't stick your arm out of the boat! :yh_ooooo
This trail has such gorgeous scenery and would be a pleasure to hike if not bike. I haven't been on a bicycle in ages but I do trust my two feet & legs. These photos are so awesome! A number of old railroad tracks have been removed in my local area as well as part of the "Rails to Trails"...

THE WORLD GEOGRAPHY: 8 of the Most Unique Paths in the World (http://www.theworldgeography.com/2012/04/8-of-most-unique-paths-in-world.html) Very beautiful! The Wisteria Tunnel in Japan and the Tunnel of Love in the Ukraine are the two I found to be the most interesting. I love blooming...
In the latest incident at this Private Game Park, the rhino was darted and then had it's horns chopped off with machetes.
I put out a few bird feeders in the winter months and love to watch the various birds that hang around during the cold weather. There's something satisfying about looking out the window after a heavy snowfall and seeing the hungry hordes gathered about enjoying the meal. There's no snow here this...
Has anyone here ever participated in letterboxing or for that matter ever heard of it? I just happened to read an article recently in a copy of Blue Ridge Country magazine and the whole thing was new to me. It sounds like a great way to spend time outdoors hiking & tramping and have a little...
