A trip to Otter Creek Park

Don and I went to Otter Creek Park (which is in Meade Co. Kentucky). We weren't far from home when we encountered a road crew cutting back brush and trees along the road. One of the men was holding a big rat snake (about 4 feet long). Here is the snake posing for his photo. Here is the guy who was holding the snake (should have gotten a picture of him holding it, ah, well) after he has let the snake go. Really cool, I was worried they might kill the snake, but this guy said he likes snakes. So that was really great.
When we got to Otter Creek we went to see the Lime Kiln that is near the Railroad tracks.
A picture of my shadow down in the creek below the railroad tracks.
This is some species of moth, I have no idea what kind. Does anybody know?
We stopped at the Visitors Center at Otter Creek Park and I got some photos of some of the residents. This pretty, blue eyed face below belongs to a Gar.


A snapping turtle.
A Musk Turtle.
A copperhead snake.
This is a little buck we saw in the park.
