Hi Doug and Ken,

Doug, I am surprised it gets that hot in New Hampshire. I have only been there once, and there was snow on the ground. Thanks for the compliment.

Ken, yes, I agree with you on the hot whites, but as you say, you takes what ya gets. Thanks.

Gila Monster

I came upon this Gila Monster in a dry wash behind the house this afternoon. They are rarely seen in the wild, and by the time I came to my senses and retrieved the camera, he had hidden in some brush. Unfortunately, he was not particularly cooperative, and rather unhappy with me. The photo isn't pa...

Actually, they are quite harmless, and a lot of people keep them for pets. They are quite docile, and at the local Desert Museum I have seen docents with them crawling on their arms. Not for me though.

Tucson summer wildlife

My wife was startled when she stepped out the door one night a couple of weeks ago, and found herself facing this fellow hanging on the wall. He is about 6" from the tippy toe to tippy toe. The males are out this time of year looking for a mate. This was a grab shot, as it was nearly dark. http://ww...

Hi, I have several cultures in 2.5 gallon tanks which I keep covered with glass to reduce evaporation, but I do maintain the water level by adding small quantities of purified water from the grocery store from time to time. It is generally stated that it is purified by reverse osmosis. It seems to w...

Hi Rik,

Thanks for the advice. Why don't you go ahead and post your improvements. I am getting ready to head out on a trip and don't have time to fool with it at the moment.

I appreciate the comments.

Happy Easter

Hi, I was out in the local National Park a vew days ago, and this antelope jack rabbit (jackelope according to Ken) posed for me. It was probably 18" high. Hope you enjoy her portrait (I assume from the lashes) as much as I do. http://www.photomacrography1.net/images/crop_640.JPG Canon 5D, 300mm +1....

Very nice Ken. The first one looks like flowers hanging from a tree branch and I really like the combination of colors. Very interesting subject.

Hi Ken,

Thanks. They are sure fun to watch, at least for me. Sure glad they are tiny. I just posted a phot of the microscope setup in the Technique and Technical Discussion forum.
