Gosh that javelina, a kind of wild boar? I wonder how that they bite those cacti pads? Wonderful to see all these unique animals and things. Thanks Diane!
Love the sign and the marvelous photos ... nice to know the desert critters enjoy 'picknicking' too. Love the way you framed and presented your photos ... lovely post. Hugs and blessings,
A great source of food and moisture, the perfect picnic for desert dwellers. Great captures on all the animals. The javelina is a first for me too, very interesting animal.
Thanks for sharing that kind of wonderful landscapes and nature pics ! A beautiful serie , Diane !

I like the 'polaroid' layout! Which park/range were you picnic-ing at?
ReplyDeleteStephanie - Yes, the javelina is a peccary, similar to a wild boar.
ReplyDeleteRainfield - Yes, these animals do eat cacti and other plants too.
Brenda - This is at Sabino Canyon in the Santa Catalina Mountains north of Tucson.
Diane, the javalina is a first for me. I love your mounted photos. And the "half-eaten meals"...
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this wonderful post.
So this is a picnic area for the critters and the cacti are the meal. Great post!
