Tarantulas, Wild Pigs, Road Runners - Oh My!

One of the biggest treats on the bicycle is encountering local wildlife (from a safe distance as applicable).  A whole passle of Javelinas thundered across the road in  front of us as we made our  way to the McDonald Observatory.   We're seeing quite a few Road Runners (cute!), and got to watch a tarantula crawling across the grass at the observatory.  There are loads of wonderful birds including the faithful Turkey Vultures.

My first time to see a tarantula outside of a zoo. He was so much fun to watch.
Beep beep!
Turkey Vultures are our buddies - forever present.
Paula captured this shot of a Javelina.

  1. The best ever wildlife shots. My 'Heron' submission consists of an empty but attractive pond. Love em. j
