Weird, cool stuff you found in the woods.

There were actually two pieces, both were given away as door stops.

 

When my son was at Vo-tech for welding he and his buddies welded up a bunch of scrap metal and made what we call Mr. Robot. At the end of the school year Mr. Robot need a home so I leaned him against a pine in the side yard. This was about six years ago. In a storm we had last September his lean post got struck by lightning. Unfortunately, Mr. Robot did not come to life.
After the storm the sky turned a beautiful purple.

I've got a bunch of storm damage photos from a December 20th windstorm, but they don't fit this thread's topic. If you want to see them, I'll post them here for lack of a better place.

 

Dont touch the buried tactical roombas

 

Humans can be the most dangerous kinds of litterbugs in the 4.3 billion year history of the world.

 

GF sent me this pic of a fungus growing in our yard. Had to Google "chocolate starfish mushroom" to find it's called the starfish stinkhorn.

 

We caught a river on fire back in the 50’s , ya gotta work at it, but you can do it.

 

Last summer found a had to be 100lbs snapper I had to push him off the road. Probably the biggest snapper I've ever seen. I didn't want to see it get hit.

 

They sure are solid. I helped one off the road, wasnt close to that maybe 25lbs, but still heavier than it looked

 

Strange colors in the sky tonight

 

Northern lights... They were supposed to be visible from northern Cali over to Minnesota (?)

 

They were only green here.

 

I figured that snapper had to be close to a 100yrs old. My buddy has one as a pet he built a 200 gal pond in his back yard for it. It was his father's, his father got it when he was a kid this thing got to be 50+ pounds. They will out live us I know that forsure.

 

What does he feed it?

 

Hopefully not fingers they are so cool, prehistoric

 

He lives by the shore so he uses a casting net. So fish and pellets. He also has 2 alligator snapping turtles. A mata mata turtle, long neck turtle. Let's just say the dude loves some turtles. I on the other like snakes so I have a couple different types.

 

Maybe even N California and even N Alabama.

 

They were spotted from S.Louisiana all the way to Pensacola/Destin, FL. Mostly reds and purples.
