Thursday, January 20th, 2011

Saw this spider while in Taiwan, had like a 5" leg span.  Don't know what kind it is, but the face looks a lot like the wolf spiders we have here in Florida.

Chipmunks, Flowers & Caterpillars!

Sunday, August 3rd, 2003

We've just added three new prints to our online store.

The first is a cute little chipmunk with his mouth full of stolen bird seed (he seemed to have a preferance for sunflower seeds).  He'd stuff his mouth, then run home, unload and come back for another mouthfull.  It would take him about 10 minutes between trips.

Out of curiosity I decided to see where he was storing his stolen goods, so followed him on one of his trips. He'd climb up on the porch, jump up on the chair, then dive into the trash can that contained the birdseed.  About a minute or two later, he'd climb up onto the edge of the can, hop onto the chair, then eat a couple of seeds in preparation for the marathon run home.

Down off the chair, across the porch, down the steps, across the parking lot, under the dining hall, up the hill side, across the baseball field, under the cabins, then down a ravine and into the rocks and weeds at the bottom, where he vanished from sight.  He didn't go far, for it was only a minute or two before he was headed back for more seeds.  I'd estimate he was covering close to half a mile or more each round trip.  Guess a can of seeds is a lot easier to gather than individual seeds in the woods, even if they were closer to home.

This photo was taken with a Canon PNS in macro mode.  The little fellow was probably about 2.5 - 3 feet from the lens.  This was taken in upper New York state at a christian camp ground.  To see the camp itself, visit www.AdventistYouthCampTours.com

The next new image is of beautiful bi-colored irises against a bright red wall.  This photo was taken at the Miller farm, near Hampton, NY.  For additional information on the Miller Farm and it's significance to the Adventist faith, please visit www.AdventistHeritage.org website .

The final new image uploaded is of a saddle-back catterpillar taken in Pensacola, FL.  This colorful little guy was found hiding under a grape leaf.  Though he might be brightly colored and you may be tempted to touch him or pick him up, I strongly advise that you resist these urges.  These little fellows pack a very painful sting when touched, something you do not want to experience first hand.  Much safer to appreciate his beauty in a photo where you're safe from his sting.

Look but don't touch!

That's all the new photos for this week, will be uploading new ones as we take them, or as we find them in our archives. Be sure to visit our online store, Your Custom Art Store, where prints of all our photos can be ordered online. Until  next time! Cheers, Donald Hill
