These are miscellaneous photos of nature-related items for which I had no other categories. You will find everything from deer to snails to ice formations in this gallery!
Note: Most of these are decent sized images, so that you can see all the detail in the photo. I have cropped many of these pictures to help reduce the size of the image, but have not resized anything. A number of these pictures are in a ratio of size suitable for desktop backgrounds. (4:3 ratio)

This is a fawn that was for whatever reason somewhat tame (for deer). I got several neat photos.

This turtle had come into my yard from a nearby pond, and was thinking about digging an egg nest here. He had already started digging as shown here.
When it gave up and started wandering back to the pond, I picked it up for a couple up-close photos of its highly detailed face.
Side of the turtle's head. Turtle's are not as shy as people make them out to be. In fact they can be rather obstinate. When I set this turtle back on the ground it took off rather quickly back to the pond.
Snapper turtles are even less shy; belligerent would describe them. This is a small snapper turtle I found on a road. I don't recommend picking these aggressive turtles up... they won't retreat into their shells, they will instead bite you! I fortunately have never experienced this. I did make sure this one got off the road safely.
A land snail of some sort.
