Mac’s Plants, Bugs and Critters

As you may have guessed, this is a Mackenzie article. Today’s blog post is all about nature. We’ve met some interesting creatures throughout our journey. I have been fortunate enough to grab some nice close-up snaps of these unique discoveries. If you like creepy crawlies of all kinds, feel free to plow on ahead.

 

Bugs: Seeing so many colorful insects has really been fun for me this trip. It has also added hours to our hiking time as I stop to try and get the perfect pic.

Plants: Taking such a significant amount of time to travel has certainly allowed us the time to stop and smell the roses. While I’m sure you’ve seen many of our landscape shots, here are some of the flora posing for their close ups.

Assorted Critters: Two Legs, Four Legs, Wings, Shells, Slime and Slither. Here are the locals who make Cassandra scream and me reach for the camera.

  1. Great pix!! What’s up with the two intertwined snakes? I would have run screaming across the entire continent if I had witnessed that!

    Love Aunt Shoon

    • We think they were mating. We saw them on trail in Turkey. Cassandra almost stepped on them actually!

  2. Loved the bugs, plants and critters. Snakes not so much…
