She was MAD at me! I was weedwhacking and had to get her out of the way, but she didn't want to move.

Every night, this toad hops across our patio and positions itself in front of our sliding glass door. I presume it is catching all the moths that are attracted to the light.
I should set up a webcam.

Wanna see something crazy? Pull this photo into Photoshop, The GIMP, or another high-quality graphics manipulation program, and check out the blue channel. It almost looks embossed.
Somewhere on the flight path between Cleveland and Pittsburgh.

This photo is actually taken from the first island, but I have geotagged it as the third island, where the subject is located. Or should I geotag it from the camera's perspective, hovering somewhere over the lake?

I didn't know that the Chicago Botanic Garden had a Prarie "Garden" -- and it's huge! I love the native prarie plants.

The sign to which this cicada larva shell is clinging is a historical marker pointing to Edgar Allen Poe's dorm room at UVa.
