In The Wild, Photo Share (If Possible To Capture).... Keep Your OneWheel In The Shot If You Can.

Browsing the Archive, this is a link to my favorite thread, the "In the Wild..."

My favorite photos are the hornets' nest, the praying mantis, and the apple blossoms. But I am truly impressed with the Australian python, the weasel, the fox, the porcupine, the baby skunks, the baby raccoon, the hare, all the snakes, turtles, and frogs -- and the delicate and/or strong wildflowers! And not to forget, the fan-dance sycamore leaf, and the Abominable Snow Creature... All with Onewheels, or evidence of Onewheels in the pictures!

@biell WTF's in the pic but I swap back and forth often. FAF's are so fun.

A Where's Waldo or scavenger hunt thread would be awesome!

A few snakes have been crossing the Greenway this week:

A few snakes

I normally see a few a year here on the American River Parkway, but haven't seen any this year.

@S-Leon I see SO many snakes early Spring and throughout Summer. Had a few near misses but never thought to get a photo with the OW. I'll try next year, it's too cold for them now. Those look like cute little Brown Snakes... ?

A maple tree shedded some leaves on the trail so I cleared them away with a blower and thought this would make a nice pic:

S. Leon

@blkdout -- I think you are correct, maybe Dekay's brown snake. And yes, they are cute -- thin and small. Over the week I saw maybe two dozen of them on about eight miles of trail. I also saw ribbon snakes this week, a couple of water snakes, and one probably milk snake. The specimens of snakes I see don't always match the photos I find on the internet -- lots of variation, I think.

@s-leon Yeah, the Dekay's in my area look different than those but still telltale similarities. I mostly have Browns, Garters, Waters and Black Rats. I've only seen one or two Milk Snakes and they are absolutely beautiful. Wish there were more.

If you're on Reddit, r/whatsthissnake is great resource for ID. They are very scientific about their identification and don't put up with guesses or jokes. Misidentifying a snake could mean life or death so they take it pretty seriously.

Magnetic interference.

Preying mantis with no Onewheel.

@lia where did you get the helmet? It looks pretty cool!

~~also thats a cute cat~~

Lia

@loaffette Found it on eBay second hand, I think they're a Chinese import since you only see them on those sites :3

Bicycling over to the Greenway to ride my Onewheel V1 I saw my second-ever road-killed mink.

Opposums, squirrels, raccoons, white-tail deer, and even buzzards and raptors are fairly often seen as roadkill -- apparently mink are more common than, say, weasels.

Joke: Why did the chicken cross the road? -- (and I actually do see chickens cross the road occasionally.) -- Answer under the spoiler (with no photos).

To prove to the opossum that it can be done!!!

@s-leon There's a ton of roadkill down here in Texas. I was driving back form college back to home and saw like two dead deer caucuses on the road. Like, full sized deer
