+Headhardhat Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 (edited) I have been caching for five months and have taken photos of all sorts of gnome holes, knobby trees and strange outcroppings. What is your favorite pix of something mother nature created found while caching. Here is one that creeps me out. Check out the all seeing eye of a gaurdian that watches over one of my caches.

+89SC Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 I got an upclose look at a snapping turtle while caching last weekend: Quote Link to comment
+team moxiepup Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 A mother turkey, sitting on her nest. She remained completely still while we were there. Moxie never even picked up on her scent! Quote Link to comment
+kayst Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Here is a cool tree where a flood has washed away the ground, revealing all the roots. Quote Link to comment
+GSVNoFixedAbode Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 I loved the gnarly exposed roots of the tree at this cache Quote Link to comment
+whistler & co. Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 BUGS! Hawk trying to lift a woodchuck. Ribs, anyone? Horrible huge fungus. Lake contaminated by mine run-off. Boulder field. Teasel. Quote Link to comment

+Hellolost Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 How horrifying that lake picture is. Makes me ashamed to be human. Quote Link to comment
+infiniteMPG Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 During one of our caching runs back in early 2005 along a hiking trail in a nearby state park we ran across a small tree growing in the middle of a rotted old stump. We were pretty new and actually lost the manual to our old eTrax and when we went back we found it on the ground near this site. It kind of seemed like a sign and we really liked the tree so we check on it whenever we were back hiking there. This was a year later. But then a few months ago we went back to get finds on a handful of new caches that were hidden there and as we were searching for a new one we realized that it was near our tree. Turns out the cache was actually hidden IN the stump of our old tree (which has grown a lot since then)! I don't have a picture of the current condition with me but we definitely snapped a few (but didn't add them to the cache gallery as that would totally give it away). Quote Link to comment
+team moxiepup Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 A really lovely big old tree. A barred owl out and about during the daytime. A natural arch in Bar Harbor. A snail munching a mushroom. Dandelions growing up through a thick layer of asphalt. Nature's resilience at work! Blue ice waterfall. The picture doesn't do justice to what a deep turquoise blue that the ice was!

RedShoesGirl Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 Snake eating a frog cool - when did you shoot this? i would love to see something like this. rsg Quote Link to comment
Dinoprophet Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 (edited) cool - when did you shoot this? i would love to see something like this. rsg July of last year, Port Crescent State Park, Michigan, in the tip of the thumb. Near this DNF. We thought it might be a small Massasauga rattlesnake (our only venomous snake) but apparently it isn't. It's the second time I've seen that. One surprised me in my garden one day. It really freaked me out that time -- I thought the snakes head was split or something. Edited June 7, 2008 by Dinoprophet Quote Link to comment
+GIDEON-X Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 Could this be a "Snake in The Grass"...........Hmmm or perhaps "Sachquat" Quote Link to comment

How about a pine tree keeping the tail section of an airplane, stationary for 64 years? GC10028 Quote Link to comment
