Cool Or Creepy Things Found In The Bush Or On Your Property

I found a headlight assembly laying in my front yard tonight.

Went out for a walk with the dog and she kept alerting to a spot in the yard.

Figured a scent peaked her interest so I spurred her on.

Came back by and she alerted to the spot again. I spurred her on a second time.

Went out for a walk later on and she dragged me to the spot. It was a $10 bill.

I now pay very close attention to what she alerts on

Wow! I lost that last week! Who'd a thunk that it would blow all of that way... and against the westerly winds, no less!

That actually happened a couple years ago. Figured one of the teenagers next door lost it.

Last time I went ice fishing this year, it got dark, and we were walking off the lake in the dark, with just a Coleman lantern for light. I saw something dark over to my left and went to investigate, thought maybe it was a raccoon or something.... it was a three-legged foot stool with a vinyl padded cushion. Hmm... probably fell off the back of someone's sled as they were leaving and didn't notice.

Hard to believe someone hasn't stumbled on it.
I can't go anywhere in the "deep" bush without finding beer cans or coffee cups.
Pretty sure Ontario is a tad bigger than Maine.
416 000 sq miles vs. 33 000 sq miles.

Yeah, it’s so big I don’t even know Yogi!

The markings on this bug are interesting. I found it on a stack of firewood. There were quite a number of them running around. At a guess, it's some sort of cricket. An arborist friend says it's a long horned beetle. Doesn't look like a beetle to me, but maybe...

When I was in high school, our nearest nearest neighbor was about 2 miles away. We lived just off the main road, with a circle drive. I was out pumping water, when I saw this weird creature coming up our driveway. It was black, and its head was huge...it kept nodding its head up and down in an exaggerated manner, and all I could think of was an anteater. It scared me; I thought it might be rabid.

The rifle was just inside the door, so I grabbed it and shot the varmint before it could get up to the house. I let it lay for a few minutes; then walked up to examine it. I couldn't believe my eyes. It was a skunk, and it had its head stuck in what looked like a pint mayonnaise jar. I figured he was getting a treat and got his head stuck.
