Observing Nature

Horseshoe Crabs and Slipper Lobsters are both fascinating. The Horseshoe Crab kind of crashed into the Slipper Lobster. The Slipper Lobster was fine though.

Something about slow motion makes everything a little more interesting to look at. In this case, there are butterflies on a rotting banana, and flies on our compost pile. When I disturbed them, they flew away....in slow motion.

We had lots of toads in our yard. Some little ones tried to climb our storm shelter, and some liked to climb to the top or our straw bale garden. They used the drip irrigation to take a shower.

As you might have guessed, I love to observe nature. There are too many things more entertaining to me than watching toads eating flies on a compost pile. I hope you enjoy seeing them as much as I did.

This wing walker has a lot more guts than I do. I don't think I could have done that even when I was young. The biplane did quite a few stunts with the wing walker on top of the plane.

I saved a praying mantis egg case over the winter. In the spring, a whole bunch of babies hatched out. This one must have been hungry.

This beautiful male Betta was beautiful in regular speed, but it's mesmerizing when you look at it in slow motion. I've been interested and fascinated with Betta fish for decades. I've even bred them in the past.

On a visit to a butterfly enclosure, we had butterflies eating out of our hands, and some of them even landed on us.

I've seen ducks and geese do this before. I would like to know what is going on in those little duck brains when they do this. This duck wasn't anywhere near water, and was in the middle of a parking lot.

Never approach a venomous snake. I remained at a very safe distance throughout this video. In the video I will explain how I took the close up.

We get flocks of geese around here that number in the tens of thousands. I'm not sure how many thousand were in this flock, but it was a bunch. They came in and started to land, but after some of them were already on the ground, they flew off again.

The Grand Canyon is amazing to look at in person. Then when you think about the fact that it was carved out by water, it kind of blows your mind.

I can't believe where this Canada Goose built her next. Sometimes when you see something, it makes you shake your head. That is what happened this time. I had to shake my head and laugh out loud.

Never approach a venomous snake. If you aren't 100% sure if it's venomous, treat it like it is. I've been around reptiles all my life. In that time, I've learned to identify the dangerous ones. Sometimes the smaller Rattlesnakes can be more dangerous than the large ones. That is because they haven't learned how to control how much venom the inject. They use it all every time.

We visited the Butterfly Palace in Branson, Missouri. We really enjoyed seeing the butterflies and feeding them with nectar from an artificial flower.

The simple things in nature can be fascinating when you take the time to stop and observe. The sounds of the baby birds is something that I heard when I was out in the garden.

I love it when I get a chance to see something unique or rare in nature. I felt fortunate when we sighted two piebald Brown-headed Cowbirds in one day. In the video, I will freeze the frame so you can easily see the piebald ones. Let us know if you've ever seen a piebald animal of any kind. Thanks for watching!

I've always been fascinated with carnivorous plants. Venus Fly Traps are just cool! I found a cricket in our yard, and I fed it to my Venus Fly Trap. It didn't take long either.

I was going through some old clips and found some really pretty Zinnia flowers. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did.

In this video, you will be able to watch a rat move slowly down the throat of a large Gaboon Viper.

Striped Bark Scorpions are very common in some parts of the country. The ones in this video are in the state of Missouri, but I've also seem them in the state of Kansas. They are nocturnal, so you probably will never see one moving about during the daytime.

On this day, we were able to get a close look at 11 different snakes. They were on a dirt road in the state of Kansas. Snakes are fascinating creatures. I hope you enjoy seeing them as much as we did.

I've been feeding grape jelly to Orioles for years. In this video, I will give you a few tips on feeding them, in case you want to give it a try.

I love watching pollinators on flowers. Sunflowers are especially attractive to bees. Many species of bees visit them. The is a 12 minute view of bees and other pollinators visiting one flower.
