Wait until you find a big black snake in the bowl!  Been there seen that!

@Pezzie Very cool picture! We live in the country and used to see owls quite often. Haven't seen one years, though.

Great pic. I see them occasionally but hear them quite a bit.

I have a wooded area behind my house and often hear woodpeckers but there aren't pines so I seldom hear owls.

Unfortunately, Trees of Heaven are trying to take over. They have large seed pods and saplings are coming up everywhere.

Being new to Pittsburg I was stunned when I saw a HUGE white owl sitting quietly in a densely forested area right near the road beside my apartment complex!

Came home and looked it up. It was a snowy white owl!

Newer "nature"story...

A skunk (or skunks) must be in  the vents on my floor.

I'm reading that when people smoke weed it can smell exactly the same?

I will need to do something and my neighbor has it in her place too.

oh, and also I have discovered that I have mice!

NATURE! 👀

@LTT1 I've haven't smelled "weed" in many, many years...but to my recollection, it has a sweet-ish smell--doesn't smell like skunk. But  Skunk is a hard to describe smell, VERY strong and completely obnoxious. When fresh, it will take your breath away!

Our "road to town" is apparently a "skunk crossing". In the spring, some will get hit by cars, and oh, the smell! And that's before they start to decompose. It lasts forever, because even the buzzards won't touch them, lol!

@vermint 

I have never been nor will I ever be a smeller of "weed!" LOL

And what I did smell coming from other rooms in college (wayyyy back when) did have a sweet smell...unless they were burning incense to cover the smell.

But my DD tells me that it smells exactly like skunk... I just find that so hard to believe

but the young lady (she is of Indian heritage and also like me very naive in some ways) swears it's weed!

And her apt is more drastically affected than mine!

And it seems to happen on weekends...so that fits.

We have both gone to mgmt and complained...to no avail so far.

They said they would send maintenance up to "smell" the hallway. [gee thx!]
They told her that if it is WEED, they cannot interfere with people's lifestyles.

In PA as in the entire nation, pot is still illegal unless its medical.

Even then, I read that there is a law prohibiting it from being used in areas that would affect others. 

So this story is not finished yet!
