This first shot, I got pretty close to this snake, pushing the minimum focusing distance of 3.2 feet on my Canon 100-400mm telephoto lens for this very nice close-up. Don’t worry – I had observed the snake for a long while before approaching this close,…
Today is another case where I had something else scheduled to go live, but I moved it to bump something up on the schedule. On Monday, I decided to head out specifically with two photographic subjects in mind… Timber Rattlesnakes (Crotalus horridus) and the NEOWISE…
A couple more of those Red-Spotted Newts (Notophthalmus v. viridescens).
Spotted (pun intended) these guys while out hiking on the Laurel Highlands Hiking Trail… though with that bright orange color, they certainly stand out. Red-spotted Newts (Notophthalmus v. viridescens).
Unlike the previous photo I shared of one of these Merrem’s Madagascar Swifts, this little guy was hiding in a crack in the wood, but still allowed for a nice photo…

Found these little guys near the waterfalls from the previous post. I was pretty sure they were a grass lizard, and then on the walk back to the car I saw a sign that had them listed as a local species. Though almost all of…

A couple more snakes I found while wandering around Jiwa Damai after dark…
When it rains, the snails come out…
Hopefully I will get some better photos of these lizards, but for now, here are a couple shots of some of the non-gecko lizards I’ve spotted here so far. This first one is very common and I’ll definitely get some more shots of it. My…
Ok – so instead of Birling Gap, I’m going to jump forward to Bali and share a quick set of geckos. The only one I know the species for is the blue one with the orange spots, which is a tokay gecko. These were all…
