Shades State Park - The Critters

Here are some photos of the various critters I have seen at the park.

 

This centipede moved fast!

 

 

 

 

This owl swooped in from from a rocky overhang along the trail. It landed about eight feet in front of me and just stood looking at me for a few seconds. As I tried very slowly to raise my camera it tucked its self in the small crevice behind it. A hugh missed photographic opportunity, but. I still enjoyed the experience.

It's kinda cool that it was looking out at me through a spider web too.

 

 

 

 

This was a slug that was crawling on a wood railing. I was not able to use a tripod so I had to free hand it in low light. Still came out OK.

 

 

 

 

Another centipede.

Green bug. Katydid I think.
