| finally a good use for dog hair - a corgi hair provides scale to the right of the whachamacallit |
I saw this creature in the middle of the road while walking the dogs on Saturday morning. It was about two inches long and sporting some pretty cool racing stripes. You can click on any of the photo to view them larger.

I live on this beautiful divided boulevard which is planted with live oaks, camellias, azaleas, and a vast dying array of dogwoods. These live oaks are enormous. That is a fairly tall street light in front of it and the bushes behind the tree are about 12 ft. tall. The photo above shows the low spot in the road. An animal path runs from the woods behind the houses on the left (unseen) into the swampy woods on the right. Crossing the road in this spot during the early morning and night, we see fox, coyote, and armadillo (who don't really cross, but just bumble about near the edges of the grass eating bugs). My neighbor swears she has seen a Florida panther cross. We do have bobcat, but she believes it was a panther. Yesterday she told me she bought an infrared camera. I'm looking forward to getting a glimpse of what is lurking at night!
Take a look at what everyone else is viewing up-close.
