OK...maybe I exaggerate! Maybe he just came for a summer vacation!
But I did look out in the preserve at Halpata Tastanaki Preserve and wonder what in the world was out in the marsh.
I thought it was a mound of sand or a bleached out tree maybe.
But when I got home and looked at my photos.....
it was a big web full of caterpillars.
I couldn't resist playing with photos and overlaying a few to get some neat effects!
And I put him up in this big tree right along the trail! EEEEE!!!
And then I looked around at some of my other photos and found a few more 'monsters' to share.
So even when the sky is blue and bright, the woods could have monsters lurking.
You just never know......
if you let your imagination run WILD!
And come walk in the woods with me!

Happy Monday
Much💖love
it does look like the A snowman.all the monsters do look like monsters. imagine what seeing that if you were out for a moonlight walk. scary
Hi Diane, I like your imaginative post. To me it looks a bit like an owl.
Muy bueno, me encantó. Muchos besos.
I love your playfulness. Playing with monsters is probably the best way to deal with them. But that thing, not sure I understood what it is, is very interesting. It looks large.
Happy to join you for a walk in the woods! Never know what treasures you'll find.
With that great title today, Diane, I HAD to come and see your abominable snowman in Florida. What a great photo, well, photos you've presented to us today. That log monster with the long snout and hollow eyes--for sure, I wouldn't want to happen upon him on a gloomy afternoon.
Wishing you a great day.

Ha ha! You have a good imagination. I thought it was an owl.
Beauitul photos of the snowowl .
The woods can be a scary place with the right imagination :) I bet that old abominable snowman is sweating to death in the Florida heat. He should vacation in the winter...lol
Oh that's funny. I think it looks like a large white owl.
Oh my goodness ....LOL...it did look like the abominable snowman!! Ha Ha! Great capture, Diane!
LOL
It does look like a snowman :)
All the best Jan
My imagination was already running wild at your title! LOL! Our minds can sure come up with stuff when looking at different things. I know a lot of times while I am sitting in a tree stand and the sun has gone behind the clouds, whoa! I can see all sorts of critters! LOL! Hugs and blessings, Cindy
Oh, what a handsome boy (I suppose. Or not!). Great capture!
I first thought it was Yeti from the Himalaya.....
Have a good time - greetings from far away Austria (mind: not Australia- no kangaroos)

I see it at a huge owl like a couple others mentioned.
Anyway it is one BIG tent caterpillar nest!!
It looks like a giant snowy owl to me also like a couple others though.

It has a vague resemblance to a Snowy Owl.
I remember seeing a web of silk with caterpillars on a mulberry bush when I was young. I never would have thought of that seeing your photo. Funny
I saw a mulberry with a giant web of silk and caterpillars when I was young. It never crossed my mind when I saw your photo - funny
You had me wondering what it was. There's always so much to see when we use our imaginations.
If this is a repeat, please delete. Thanks!
That was fun!! I sure did look like that abominable snowman!!
It does look like the abominable snowman!
It would be scary to walk in a forest especially when it's getting dark. Yikes!
I absolutely enjoyed your fun post today.

Nice blog.

Hello,
Love the photos and your imagination. It looks like an snowy owl.
Love the trail and shadows. Take care, enjoy your day!
That's a great photo. I didn't know what it was until you told me.

Huuuuu dear Diane,
I would have thought of all sorts of things looking at the photos, but not of a big web full of caterpillars! How big was this thing??? Anyway, let's hope that they turn into beautiful butterflies (or at least into good bird food ;-D)
Oh yes, in forests you can encounter many "monsters" - have you ever tried a night hike? It's even more "monsterish"... (Is this word construction understandable?)
I also loved your Roseate Spoonbill photos, that's such an amazing bird! <3
Hugs and all the best from Austria,
Traude

Great post!
If we get too old or too serious to have fun with nature, well, then we're just too old and too serious.
That was an adventure! We have those critters, fall worms or somesuch. They are harmless.
You sure did a great job with the photos. You inspire me with your adventure walks. Thank you.
That's hilarious, Diane. xo Laura

The "monster" reminds me of people who have seen a Bigfoot. Objects can sometimes be deceiving though.
Oh, how funny. I thought it might be an owl until you mentioned what it was. Yes, I was just telling my son the other day, you never know what's in the woods when walking through them. Very lovely and mysterious photos today. Sometimes those enchanting ones are the best ones.
Wishing you wonderful September days, Diane.

It's so true that imaginations can run wild in nature and see all sorts of crazy things!
Fun photos! I admit to looking at your "abominable" photo more than once, thinking maybe it was a large bird. Enjoyed your post today!
Oh my gosh -- I usually wish I could go along with you on your walks but today I'm not so sure! LOL! The first one looks to me like a giant snowy owl! yeeks! And just kidding, I love all the pictures and still wish I could really walk along with you ;>)
Diane - first of all, I love the banner with the delicate mushrooms - lovely shot! And let me tell you, I know something about letting my imagination go wild. When we are camping, and in the tent at night, every sound is an animal ... I am getting better at tuning it out! Thanks for linking to Mosaic Monday!
Hi nature girl! lovely pics
