I'm taking a Resource Conservation class. It's in the Biology Department so my text book is full of all sorts of fascinating plants and animals. The larger picture of the bright green Caterpillar I just happened to come across while I was searching for the Snake Caterpillar. Apparently the bright green one is called a Coconut Snake, although the photographer really wasn't very sure. The Snake Caterpillar though (the brown and black one) actually morphs in to a snake head when feeling threatened. Wow! I have always been fascinated by the various forms of life. Our perspective allows us to see such a limited picture of this world. Some animals see colors we don't see, and bats create their visual reality with sound! What is this place we call home? The intertangled chaos of order that surrounds us on a d
aily basis will continue to awe me.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LU8DDYz68kM
Here is a link of an 8 minute video we watched in my class this morning. It's one of those predator-prey animal documentary clips (which ordinarily I can't sit through) but this really is incredible. I think I might start getting into tree species too, we'll see how that goes. Right now I'm working on recognizing Post Oaks.

Okay, so first off ... those pictures are phenomenal. But secondly, WOW. That video was so captivating that after I watched it I had J sit down and watch it. I am in awe and feel so small. Look at all the life going on all around us. Such great perspective.
Thank you, friend.
Wow! I was feeling very sad for a while watching that video and then what a surprise! And I love the bright colorful photos!! Very interesting...xoxo
