Eastern Tree Lizard

On other notes, here's an Eastern Tree Lizard. He's pretty cool.

That's a Coral Snake

Look! Look at this freaking beautiful snake! It's a coral snake (very venomous). It's kind of a badass. And they're pretty reclusive. I've only seen one other one - in 2008, less than a mile away from this buddy. It's probably a good thing I didn't have the macro on me or else I'd currently be in the hospital.

However, I was a dumbass. I pulled one of my stupidest moves in a while. While it was slowly crawling into a rock crevice, I touched it. Hush now all of you. I can't help myself when it comes to snakes. I HAD to do it! Anyway, yeah, I got lucky. Their bite is pretty obnoxious and not the easiest to treat. But, well, now I can say I touched a coral snake and that makes me feel a bit cooler.

That's absurd!

(Hooded Oriole above) Hello there. Remember me? Kind of? Maybe? Well. Been consumed by some crazy long work days lately. And when that's done I'm usually outside playing, so haven't gotten much computer time in these days. Yup. (Lesser Goldfinch below)

A couple weeks ago most of the crew went to Fredericksburg, TX, which is a cool little spot if you haven't been. Some of us spent some time climbing at Enchanted Rock. Another sweet place if you're into that. It had been a couple years since I'd climbed but it was pretty rad and I didn't look like too much of a fool on the rock. (I don't think?). (Painted Bunting below!)

Been running and riding the bike a lot, plenty of frisbee time as well. A good thing since I can't really function without frisbee time. (Golden-cheeked Warbler below. But he's kinda weird, he's got that little yellow mark on his butt that Black-throated Greens have. It's a little odd...dude..is he a hybrid??)

I realize now that my attention span for sitting in front of the computer is fairly nonexistent. Don't forget aboot me! (female Black-chinned Hummingbird below)
