From a distance, this male Fiddler Crab blends in really well to the Oak leaves.

I was much closer to the snake when I almost stepped on it.
Did that to a Black Racer (snake) a couple of weeks ago. I should really start drinking my coffee PRIOR to walking the dogs.

Well, I had a baby coyote in my yard around 5 pm today.
Grabbed the camera, but the battery was dead. :roll:
He's been doing woogie woogie play in my next door neighbors yard.
Apparently the coyotes have a den close by (she borders State Forest Preserve) and he keeps wondering away from it. I am assuming this is the same coyote. Last night only one howl, so maybe the family moved on without him.
I've been here 14 years and I have heard them howling from afar occassionally, but all summer long, it has sounded like they are right in my yard.
I am a little skeered. Not sure if this young un has a loose fruitloop, or maybe my neighbor has been feeding it.

Don't be too skeered, Mango. You're still bigger than the coyote.
Seacrestkristi, do you happen to know what kind of bird that is in your very cool picture? I just saw one of those on Sunday and I wonder if they are migrating through Florida down south or something.
We found a cute baby lizard one day:
And a gopher tortoise (which had been wandering through construction, I think her habitat had been disturbed, I let her go in the undeveloped land across the street from us, I know I'm not supposed to mess with her but I let her go in the direction she was headed, I just got her through the vehicles)
This anole lives in my favorite fern.

Thanks Rita. I thought it looked like a finch but wasn't sure. 
Cil, sweet baby lizard pix.
Mangy, did ya get your batteries charged up so you can catch the baby coyote for us?

I didn't have time to change lenses, and the telephoto was on the camera, so I used it. I was probably no closer than 5 ft, which is about the minimum focal distance for that lens, when I took the photo, and the morning was cool, so the snake wasn't moving very fast. If it had been in the day time, I would have never had the chance to take the photo.How close were ya to that snake SJ?
