    No, this magnificent beast is clearly on all fours, not upright. Also, Bigfoot is a different shade of reddish brown blur, at least in these parts.

          Went out today looking for wildlife along one of my favorite forest roads. Expected to see some groundhogs, squirrels, maybe a porcupine. Nope. In my 48 years of tromping through the woods of central PA, I've only come across one of these bad boys 2 other times that I can remember. This is one of PA's few venomous snakes, the Timber Rattlesnake. And It's as close to one as I ever want to get. I originally thought it had been run over, but they flatten themselves out like that. After it was kind enought to pose for a few pics, it quickly slithered off into the bush. I'm not afraid of snakes, but I know to respect them, especially this one.

              How about the rare Pygmy Pachyderm and Sons, known only to the wilds of Southern Ontario.

                Friday and time to vote. Light turnout this week. Maybe it was the holiday and all that.

                Plus, we had a tricky theme this week:

                    All the photos meet the theme, but for me, one stands out photographically.
                    Nice sky, nice framing, space in front of the vehicle pointing into the photo, etc., etc.
                    So Agemax gets my vote this week.

                          It was close enough...And it was one of my top photos this week.

                          For me, this is a photo contest, not a "who did the theme best" contest.
                          I always vote for what I think is the best photograph.
                          (And I like it when someone "bends" the theme a little.)

                            Voting for bob baatfam. I like the symmetry (maybe not right word).... the geese compared to the bike fairing. All elements in pic support the main element without too much distraction.

                            richs snake pic is a great find. Is some what starting when when scrolling and see bike on side of road, look some more and not see any wildlife, scroll and see road, then scroll some more and see snake.

                              It's a little difficult to view such a large pic, but Rich's snake shot takes it for me.
