Fish
You’ve probably heard that the levels of anti-depressant and birth control chemicals in the oceans are on the rise, but did know that was true for lip-plumpers as well?
Siamang
“Unfunny! Total Loser! Hoax! Lock her up! Fake News!”
Politics makes a lot more sense when you remember that humans are apes.
Fish
This fish is a rebel and doesn’t give a fin about your so-call “rules” of artistic composition.
Fish
After watching Toy Story 2 and 3 last week, this fish is still trying to figure out why the dinosaur, pig, and slinky-dog can all talk, but Woody’s horse can’t.
Elephant
“How does a cannibal eat an elephant?”
Caption not funny enough? Try this one:
“Political strategy”
Mexican Blind Cave Fish
I am proud to present our new Director of Vision for the use of Land and Air (pending confirmation).
Black Rhinoceros
This rhinoceros has observed that it is easier to unify under hate than nuance and politely suggests that educated people re-evaluate their political strategies.
Archer Fish
Quiz time! These fish are called “archer” fish because:
i) When they get excited, they quiver.
*) During breeding season, they make a noise that sounds like “Phrasing!”
c) The odds are ever in their favor.
4) They shoot insects with jets of water.
д) Their long lives pass like swift draughts of the sweet mead.
ζ) They are unhealthily obsessed with the death of their city.
Parrot
After being told that there were parrots in the tree, it still took me quite a while to find them. One doesn’t ordinarily think of brightly coloured birds as being so well camouflaged.
That tree again
Another view of that tree, this time with the high tide and in the visible spectrum.
Moth
This moth was feeding in a flower in the early morning. I was about three meters away … and three meters below it. I was shooting hand-held.
This is one of those shots that really should not have been possible
Iguana
When you genetically photoshop a snake onto a dragon, you get an iguana.
Bug
“It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.”
Infrared Tree
This is a sandbank that is entirely underwater half of the day, due to tides. The tree roots helps keep it together.
The constant movement of the tides creates an interesting dappled texture that is much more noticeable in the deep infrared.
Dog
Taken with my low-light camera in rather lower light than it was designed for.
As I’ve said before, it never really gets too dark for photography. It just gets progressively more impressionistic outside.
Dragonfly
Turns out you can use a 400mm telephoto lens as a macro lens when you need to.
Tern
Because one good tern deserves another
Tern
When I was in Peru, one thing I kept trying to get was a good photo of a tern in flight (and one diving). I never succeeded.
Luckily, Illinois has terns too.
Turkey Vulture
The vulture lives in a world of grey, soars on hot air, and consumes the recently dead.
It thinks the next four years will be great.
