things we never saw in colorado
A luna moth! I came across this one while walking near our house the other day.
A male anole lizard, puffing up its pink dewlap. It must have been feeling aggressive toward us.
Magnolias.
A five-lined skink. This one has a long tail, but Cash spotted one under our truck with a tail shorter than an inch. They are able to break off their tails when needed. Also, the babies hatch with beautiful purplish-blue tails.
Weird things like this fallen tree with four new trees growing straight out of its trunk.
Creepy swamps with long, creaky bridges stretching across them.
Trees big enough for three of me to hide behind the trunk.
Kids playing in a lake in April, when Colorado is deep in snow.
Snakes. This sweetie slithered across the trail right in front of us at Bond Park.
A snail. Did you know snails are related to squid?
We’re slowly getting used to all these wild North Carolina things–and finding out how much a little moisture, heat, and oxygen can completely transform your world.
Just like out of National Geographic! Beautiful pics. Zia and Cash are having lots of fun!
Zia went ballistic when she saw the snake, haha. She had never seen one in the wild before!
