The last moments of Summer in SW MI. Monday was the last sunny, hot, dry day of a long heat wave. Still in the 80s when I took the pic of the moon at 8 pm and 15 minutes later Fall arrived and it started raining.

In October 2025 in the New Jersey Pine Barrens, open canoes paddle through a canopy tunnel of coloring leaves and then disappear into the marsh grass of a low-water lake.

Came across this little guy and thought it looked exotic. My snake expert brother-in-law said it was just a baby Black Ratsnake (aka Central or Midland Ratsnake). They are pure black as adults and get quite a bit bigger.

Baby water snakes (Nerodia spp.) and racers have similar patterns. They all darken with age.

This box was a gift for me from a paddle friend last weekend.
He handed me the box and said:
Look, I brought you something... it's quite old, and I don't think they make it anymore.
He had bought this box in America more than 30 years ago...

Spoiler: more pics of this dry-box
