Beauty in your own back yard.

So, I got this super cool new camera so my bf and I decided to go on a walk around our backyard and down a ways to try it out!

Moderators - I'm 100% not sure where this would fall under. Sorry!

I think this should be in the field forum. Certainly qualifies as a field trip. Those are some great shots!!

I like your backyard. I would go straight to the falen tree and peel off the bark to check for scorps.

If I am not mistaken, the picture with the webbed spider. The plant with round green fruit looks like a Philippine lemon (Calamansi). You can use that as a substitue for lemon, great with iced tea.

I just want to point out that by peeling off the bark you are destroying the home of the animals that live underneath the bark. A better method would be to try and look underneath it witout removing it, or gently pulling it back a little to look underneath without removing it completely. A black light at night would quickly reveal the precense of a scorpion without destroying the habitat.

Yes I agree with you Texas Blonde. I just didn't elaborate the method. But you can partialy lift the bark and peek what is inside without destroying the whole thing. Ditto for flipping logs and rocks. Put it back in place.

I haven't done much blacklighting because it can only see scorps and not snakes. Besides, I feel using blacklights is cheating, but that's just me. I'm not saying its wrong.

Thats actually located on a formerly abandoned farm behind us. Its private property so we cant actually go back there. =P Hense the No Trespassing sign =P

The fruit behind it is an unripe orange =P

We've actually gone scorpion hunting before, last summer and didnt see a single one. =(
