As promised some pictures of weirdness, or at least oddness, from my time at the beach. first we have a weird place for a flower to be growing. I reckon if you can't afford gas for your truck, converting the gas tank to a flower pot isn't a bad idea.
Another odd thing was being called over one morning by the neighbor. "Hey, where are the boys? They gotta see something!" Can you see what it was? It's hanging off that stack of crab traps. Look closely. Yep, it's a big, freshly shed skin of a black snake.
Cool huh? You can see the eyes in the skin and everything. Ok, so I like snakes. Call me crazy.
Here we have Isaac up a tree displaying the length of said black snake. Pretty cool huh? We were all digging it. We didn't tell psycho mom about it though. We meant to bring it home but forgot it hanging o the coat rack on the front porch. Guess I'll have to make a trip down to retrieve it. Oh darn.
Finally, during my photography walk on the beach I came across what looked like the bleached out skull of a Triceratops with its horns broken off. Some people like to find shapes in the clouds. Me? I groove on pieces of driftwood. Yeah I'm weird. I admit it. But really, would you have me any other way?
A camera sure takes better pics than a phone!!!
ReplyDeleteI'd liked to have seen some crabs in those traps...G
hehehehe...You Know.
ReplyDeleteWow, the snake skin is very cook. It looks crystalline.

Oh ty ty ty !!! NOW I am getting jazzed up for my trip to the beach next weekend for my own sand between the toes therapy--- I hope to see dino's in driftwood too!
ReplyDeleteThat snake skin was some find sista.. too neato~~
That sure is one loooooong culebra. And you're right. That piece of driftwood looks very much like a triceratops!
ReplyDeleteGotta go now. It's time to check the car for flowers in the tank. ;-)
No, I would not... Don't you dare change a hair on your pretty curly head :)
ReplyDeletesuch cool pictures Lime! :)
ReplyDeleteThe snake is awesome. You can make some customized shoes with that, or a handbag!
The flower is beautiful & so is Isaac! :)
& the driftwood is a natural beauty too!
that snake skin is beautiful and the tricera wood is kick ass
ReplyDeleteDelightful indeed!
ReplyDeleteCheers
Awesome pics! Thanks for sharing. :)
ReplyDeleteI will probably have nightmares tonight after seeing the long snake skin, oooooh makes me shiver!
ReplyDeleteThe flower in the gas tank is a pretty flower, people around here waste nothing especially toilets, we see toilet flower pots all the time.
Hope you have a good day!
Just send Psycho Mom some pictures of the snake -anonymously, perhaps. That would be about enough to make me a psycho mom/grandma for sure!
ReplyDeleteJust can't miss your kids...did Mr. Lime have anything to do with them?
ReplyDeleteI thought Triceratops as well...it's so obvious!!!
I come from a family of drift wood lovers, so I completely get it. That is a great piece!
ReplyDeleteAnd wow! That was one long snake!
That really does look like a triceratops. Maybe it's a fossil.
ReplyDeletecool pics Lime...!!! love that snake skin...my 'C' has a big orange corn snake (i think it is) and the kids keep the skins...!!! xxx
ReplyDeleteway groovy pics! any more? Cheers!
ReplyDeleteew, ew, ew...I don't do snakes, even without the body. That literally gave me goosebumps!
ReplyDeleteI see the Triceratops too though. That's pretty cool!
I hope you go on vacation more often. These pictures are great.
ReplyDeleteFor several reason I really dig the flower growing out of the car. Despite the best efforts to pave the world nature will alway prevail.
ReplyDeleteJust catching up. I especially like the first photo. And I think snake sheds are pretty cool, too.
ReplyDeleteIsaac reminds me of Mowgli.
ReplyDeleteNot a snake lover myself...but I could handle a skin.
ReplyDeleteShame you have to go all the way back there.... ;0)
I love the wooden triceratops! Very, very cool.
ReplyDeleteif psycho mom had stayed more than 15 minutes, i am sure you would have gotten creative with the snake (-;
ReplyDeleteThat IS the skull of a Triceratops.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great thrill to see the snake skin so freshly deposited! Driftwood is my fav too, way better than clouds. Great shots.
