Animals on the Jack's Fork

in #photography7 years ago

I went floating on the Jack's Fork river last week. It is located in Missouri and these are a few of the animals I saw.

I followed it as it swam/ran down the river.

I didn't notice the white fur on it until I saw this last picture.

Ok, so it was sunbathing...then I came along... It is some type of water snake, and is not venomous.

I caught a baby turtle! It didn't know how to escape yet...hopefully it learned it's lesson.
