“He Just Ain’t Right”
As one wildlife interaction after another presented themselves today, I thought of how a friend might respond to my photos. I can hear one, maybe two commenting “He just ain’t right” when they see some of the pictures I came home with.
To prove them wrong, I will mix things up today and share more common photos with maybe some we might not see so often.
Hopefully this avoids the “He just ain’t right comments!”

By the way - the large striped fishing spider was dead. I didn’t realize that when I began photographing it, but eventually caught on. It was scary huge.
