Wildlife


We saw lots of wildlife on our recent
bicycle trip along the C&O Canal
and the Great Allegheny Passage.



We saw lots and lots of
turtles along the canal.



A Great Blue Heron
posing for us.



Black snake climbing straight up a tree.
We saw maybe a half dozen of these.
We could see this one had recently eaten.



This copperhead almost got
run over by us.



A snapping turtle along side the trail.
We called this day turtle day since
we saw at least 7 or 8 turtles
up on or near the trail

This plant was ubiquitous.
We saw it everyday.



We just had to grab a
picture of this one.



A pretty blossom on a bush.



We have no idea what this one was.
No idea what most of the flowers were.



Daisy.


Next installment...

You'll just have to look again next week.

Your adventure looked like wonderful fun! However, that's a soft-shell turtle. They used to be endangered. They may snap at you, but their soft-shell is what makes them very unique if you notice thier sleek design and long tail to help them swim in the water.
