RE: An Eerie Night and Foggy Morning In The Woods
Hello from another Aussie! : )
LOL, I love this!! I have to laugh... I HATE, HATE, HATE leeches too!! I've only ever had one but yes I too jumped around screaming like a crazy person to get it off. Having 4 all at once would have truly done my head in!!! However... after having FOUR leeches, why would you get out of the car again!!! Lol
Meanwhile... your photos are gorgeous and totally worth your night or terror! : ) That single tree fern against all those gums looks amazing. The fog is wonderful but the sun shining through the tress is stunning!! May I ask, the track running through the trees, was that a road, a driveway, what?
Hahaha love that! You know, I think there's a big misconception regarding your bravery as an Aussie. I always thought that because you cohabitate with deadly animals, you'd be totally fine with seeing them get close to you or even have them on you. I guess that's why I was so surprised and amused at my friend's reaction when he started flapping his arms and begging me to get the little monsters off him hahah
It was the wanna-be hero in me that decided to get out of the car again... big mistake 😂
The track you see on the pictures is for hikers, I suppose, though we did see a big gate in the middle of the woods. Not idea where it lead to!
Thanks for the kind words! :)
Hahaaa.. NO! While I REALLY dislike leeches... and I'm not too fond of ticks either... it's the snakes that really get me!!! But really who's going to be happy about having something on them sucking their blood!?! I loved your re-telling of the story though, I was right there with you, feeling and hearing it all. And you've got to love a friend who make make you laugh in the worst situations!! : )
Yeah I thought the track was interesting... you're in some pretty dense forest there... if you see a track it is usually a walking track, not a car track. I love that it is a car track!
Oh well, you have to be a bit strange to like snakes in my book. I only ever saw one from a far in my life and I froze on the spot. I would break Bolt's record if I were to see one right next to me! haha
I'm so glad you enjoyed the post and felt everything I was trying communicate with my tales :) I'll do my best to keep producing enough entertaining content for people like you to stick around for more :)
That forest was very dense and very beautiful. The track was an interesting addition to the environment and it was begging to be photographed, so we did :)
We've had 5 snakes here (I think) at out house... some deadly, others not. One even got into our garage!! :O There are a lot of people who like them... (NOT THIS GIRL!!) I don't understand those who have them as pets!! Pass!!!!
Omg, five??!? How did you survive through so many close encounters? D: I too don't understand how some people have them as pets... they're not cute!!
Yeah... now that I think about it, we had one in our garage which my husband had to get out! We had another that was somewhere in our garage because when we put the door up it was squashed... that was gross!
We had a baby brown (it was still a good meter long) slither up the side of our garden along the fence.
A couple of years ago we had a BIG brown... it started out in our front yard, I got photos of it on our rubbish bins but it ended up in our back yard and was residing under our deck. It would come out and bake in the sun but would usually disappear if it heard us. Although I did come up onto our patio once... I was not keen that day. We literally didn't go outside for 3 months! I tried to get a snake catcher to get it but it wouldn't never be in a place where they could get to it. There was also one day my husband wanted to try and kill it, as it was coming out from under the deck but I wouldn't let him. I think it eventually moved on, it got cold... we haven't seen it since. Thank goodness.
And we've had a couple of visits from a carpet python. It was in our bamboo one time, it was after a possum that had built a nest in it. And we saw it again on our fence and it went up into one of our palm trees...
I'd much rather the pythons than the deadly browns... but frankly I'd rather NONE!!! :D
