If you’re bummed that you didn’t get the gift you wanted, here’s a post of snail hiding in a shell on a rail in a hole in a post.
You’re welcome.

For those of you wanting an infrawhite Christmas.
Lake building
Before I convert my infrared photos to black and white, they have an interesting sort of sepia tone to them (except occasionally when things show up as blue, for whatever reason). Sometimes that look works better than black and white.
California Desert
Just the California desert in infrared
Heron
See? I told you you can’t preen your own neck.
Guard
When the neighboring kingdom’s ruler was deposed, power taken by the evil sorcerer, she knew that only her vigilance would keep the corruption from spreading across the boarder to her native land.
Fish
Gawkers at a shipwreck
Bird House
I didn’t do it, I swear.
Berries
You get very different responses from the rangers when instead of asking “what were those red berries back there?” you ask “what were those red berries back there that didn’t taste as good as they looked?”
Trail
Just a reminder what trails look like when it’s not snowy outside.
Butterfly
Butterflies aren’t exactly coordinated fliers.
Pond
The algae delivery and dispersal system appears to be functional.
Wasp
All the cool wasps are wearing pollen this year.
Amur Tiger
When it gets really hot, the tigers melt.
Wasp
Sometimes the wasps do not move in the direction you were expecting.
I wanted a closeup, flying to the camera.
Instead, I got yoga.
Spoonbill
They call them spoonbills, but they look more like spatulas to me.
Wobbly
I was going to make a joke about how wobblies glow white in the sun when viewed in infrared, but that’s not true. This is an albino.
Geese
Even in infrared, geese are not evenly distributed
Thistlehead
Hey. Remember when summer was a thing?
Kaiser Newt
This salamander is considered critically endangered because it lives in only four streams in the southern Zagros Mountains of Iran.
An interesting thing about this listing is that, like some critically endangered species, it thrives in captivity and there are a number of these guys in private hands. Even though they breed well in captivity, they should still be considered critically endangered because the genetic distribution of the captive population may not be as robust as that in the wild, and counting species health based solely on numbers can not be considered indicative of viability.
