Found these in my backyard today. Not sure what kind of spiders these are. They could be Wolf spiders.

I went for a little trek to St Moritz this morning:

Image

I saw some Canadian Geese (I think :lol: ) and their babies, and they let me get to within about four feet of them. :yes:

Image

I also got lucky with this video. I wish I could have gotten it started about two seconds sooner, but still pretty cool.

I'm amazed considering the blood-thirst reputation Canadian Geese have*. :Ahhh: :duck:
