Love it! Glo

Uh . . . huh . . . Y’all realize, I hope, that Whip is indulging in a bit of chivalrous fabrication. :) This was my first walk through a swamp. A delectable experience. In some places the water seemed thick, a marvelous stew of microorganisms, teeming with unseen life. I wished for a...

I'm sure this is significant, Oji, but I'm missing it. Please explain? Slowly. :) Glo

He's plenty cute but the grumpiest frog I've ever seen. I can hear him muttering, "Paparazzi guy!" Glo

Thanks, 46er, it's very helpful. I've been wanting this information too. I hope Guy posts his photos as well. Glo

Actually, I happened to be in the neighborhood: in VA, which is only 400 miles away. But you are right, Oji, it was memorable, and I spent the trip back recording my impressions to use later on. You never know when you might need a bog scene, complete with frogs, an intrepid Alfie, and a gallant...

A Friendship bog of piney frogs —The loveliest I’ve seen— Their swirling shrill and sqwonking songs Rise through the leafy green. I’m pining for that barren land Of sumptuous swamps and sugar sand, And in my dreams, the sweet Skit croons Of gleaming bogs and froggy tunes...

Quite cool, 46er. Guy: he's raised the bar for macro-ants. Can we concede that Montana ants are better focused than Piney ants? Will you rise to the challenge? :) Glo

That's a nice bouquet you've caught. Do the pinks grow in colonies? Does anyone know what kind of frog that is? Glo

Thanks for these beauties, Guy. The immature pinks are interesting and I love the supersize effect you included. That's marvelous detail on the pinks-pollen. And the ant! Did you arrange to have him pose for you? Glo

Hear, hear! Glo

Ah, yes . . . the last one. With caption. Do you accept barter? How about the entire contents of my stock portfolio? Glo

Hey . . . Hawkin . . . not unforgiveable! I thought it was a rather charming orthography or I wouldn't have remarked on it. :) I hope you do Boring Gulls, H.Y. or otherwise. (What's the H.Y. for? All I could find was hybrid gulls [???] and I'm no wiser for looking) Glo

Right. Just the usual interesting habitat, the usual great photos, the usual handsome birds. Ho-hum . . . From his fluffed out feathers, it must have been a chilly day for the goldfinch. Does your gnatcatcher have a gnact in his bill? :) Thanks, Hawkin. Looking forward to the Boring...

It really is an excellent resource, and he deftly combines scholarship with accessibility. As a non-native, I found the first chapter particularly helpful. His students are fortunate! Glo

Nice photos, Guy. I must admit that I like the Never Wet shots better than the grub. Is he a native species? You certainly have a talent for choosing . . . unusual subjects. :mrgreen: Is this your new camera at work? Glo

I like the little guys, Scott! :) Glad you found the pixie-moss, and my thanks to you, Hawkin, for identifying it. I've admired pixie-moss in my Geller (Key) and it's nice to see it up close. I get the impression that it's rare. Is that correct? Endangered? Might I find it in Wharton? Glo

As you said, a poignant story told in pictures. I like the boarded-up brown-weathered house; it would have tales to tell! In the fourth and sixth photos, the darkened sea resembles an expanse of lava I've seen on the Big Island. Not the better-known rough, jumbled chunks, but what the Hawaiians...

A beautiful sight and beautiful sounds. Reminds me of "All nature sings, and round me rings the music of the spheres." Glo

But make SURE you stay on the trail. :mrgreen: Glo
