Last week was perfect Nashville weather, the sun was out but it wasn't hot, there was a little rain but not enough to cause problems and just enough to create a cool breeze. That kind of weather inspires me to get outside in God's creation and just enjoy the beauty, so on several days I went down to Radnor Lake to go hiking. I really enjoy that place, I'm sorry that I didn't make use of it more in college but I'm making up for it now. On one day in particular, I came in contact with a lot of wildlife, it all started when just as I started hiking, as I was rocking out with my iPod I wasn't really paying attention to what was in front of me, then I almost stepped on this:
So, that freaked me out a bit. I don't know a thing about snakes so I don't know if this one is poisonous or dangerous at all, but I decided to avoid it nonetheless. Another couple miles down the trail and I came across several deer as they were just chilling out in the woods. One of them was eating just a few feet off the trail I was on. It was a pretty cool moment, I'm not sure I've ever been that close to a deer outside of a zoo before. As I approached it never left and I was able to take some fun pictures.
And lastly I took this picture of some turtles, I didn't know they like to get together like this, but I saw several different groups of them huddled on logs throughout the lake.
