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.

 

50 Day Growth Comparision

I thought I would share some 50 day growth photos of my two little leopard geckos that I got from PetSmart. The store could give me no information on their background (age, morph, sex, etc.) so I have been fascinated watching their patterns and coloration evolve as they grow. They have been great photo subjects as well!

These photos show Siren & Valor before on 4-7-14 and most recently on 5-26-14.

Gecko Monday

More leopard gecko photos. I really love these little guys and find them to be the best pets due to their docile nature and beautiful appearance.

 

Photos in May

Taking more photographs now then ever before. Staying relatively simple by using subject matter from my environment such as my pet leopard geckos and the animals, plants, and flowers where I work. It has proven to be rather addictive. :)
