Dragonflies!

I caught a couple of nice dragonfly shots. I love how they look like they have a smile on their faces!

Leopard Geckos Pattern Evolution

I am still fascinated by how much my baby leopard geckos colors and patterns have changed as they grow into adulthood.

Valor on 4-22-14 and agian on 6-15-14

Siren on 4-6-14 and again on 6-15-14

 

Beauty and Nature in the Desert

More photos taken with my Canon EOS Rebel T3. I would love to invest in another lens, but my little 18-55mm will have to do for now. Another thing for the wish list!

 

Photoshop and Lizards

 

A few photos manipulated in photoshop. Lizard art is next hot thing. Seriously. :)

 

Desert Beauty at the Springs Preserve

All these photos were taken at the Springs Preserve in Las Vegas. The desert is wonderful, colorful place when you take a deeper look.

 

Sock Monkey Blu

I made this sock monkey for a very sweet cousin of mine. The socks you use to create a sock monkey really determine your sock monkey's overall appearance. Everytime I look at a pair of socks I envision how they would look turned into a sock monkey!

 

 

The first photo is a comparision photo with the first day I got them on 4-7-14 and today 6-2-14. You can see how dramatically the patterns change. In Siren's case the body has almost completely lost the bands and quite a bit of darker ornage has emerged on the tail. With Valor you can see the black bands turning grey and the solid patch on her head breaking up into stripes and spots.

These guys have been so much fun to care for! I have found them to be a lovely pet in regards to temperment, ease of care, and how fun they are to watch. I can't wait to see how much they change as they grow into adulthood.
