Some plant with incredible red leaves on the trail to Broken Top outside of Bend, Oregon. I love the low perspective and the trees in the background for scale. It's a pretty place.

Capitol by night
From a less contentious time.Even when contentious, Madison is a lovely city. This is a winter night from 5 years ago.

Uroplatus toes
Walking up glass. This reminds me that things that are often seen as impossible may have a solution, if you keep looking.

Brown (DeKay's) snake
This is a lovely little snake and very docile. I found it in a location that has been developed. Too bad it was a great spot for amphibians and reptiles in Ann Arbor.
Do I have any clam stuck in my teeth?
Showing off her teeth, this sea otter at the Vancouver Aquarium is washing her face. Still it is a fun photo.

King of mountain - baby turtle style
We were hatching out turtle nests from south-east Michigan for research on hatchling dispersal and for release. The softshells came from the lake I lived on and during the summers I swam with their parents almost every day. The little blandings turtles are show no fear of people and will crawl around in your hand. The softshells are tiny terrors, snapping at any hand that comes close and that doesn't go away. I kept a few of the hatchlings for a year to get their size up before release and they never lost their willingness to bite.

Secret imperial napkin fold
At the Kaiserappartements, Vienna, Austria. This fold is secret and passed on so that only two people know the secret. Part of the secret is the two bread compartments. I intended to see whether I could duplicate this fold, but in the end, I really did not care that much. But, others are fascinated why this is such a secret and it is a popular photo in my flickr stream.
