Sorry, I know I haven't added anything or kept up with comments and such. I'm very very sorry about this but right now I'm working on my last semesters of school and applying to grad schools and life is turning into a grand mess right now. I'll have some great bird photos for yall when I get a chance to breathe.

So, I'm posting some old stuff. None of it is anything particularly great, but I hope it helps someone or at least provides some entertainment. Huzzah!

I found out today that the Houston zoo's young Asian elephant, Mac, died. He was only two years old and the cutest thing I've ever seen. Elephants are incredible animals and by far my favorite part of every zoo. The interactions between members of the herd are just striking and often comical and touching. Mac's mother is expecting again though, so in 22ish months there will hopefully be a new healthy baby to be loved by all of the zoo's visitors. Mac, you will be missed by thousands!

I don't have as many pictures of Mac as I would like, the reason should be obvious from the pictures, but here are the few that I have shared:

So I've had a number of requests to make my pictures larger. I honestly have no idea what size would be the most beneficial to everyone and have just been going off the format that was suggested to me a while ago. Since I do my pictures to help everyone else, I figured maybe everyone else could help me to help them and suggest what sizing would be the most beneficial to everyone. Also, I keep an unedited version of my pictures and if someone needs a particular picture in a larger size, just ask and I'll try to set something up. Computers are really rather hateful to me though, so try is a key word here. So, what dimensions should I use to help y'all the most?






Such as I'm being hated on right now because I can't change the little guy's mood to anything but optimism or get rid of him.

After an absence that went much longer than it should have, I'm back to add a few new things! I have finally made it through the sea of comments, notes, etc. and as always am amazed at the beautiful art that people create. I'm sorry that it took so long to get back to so many of you, but I can't thank you enough for letting my stock be a part of the wonderful things you have made. Anyway, I'll try to come back from my zombie-like state but school is a litte crazy right now. Hopefully the new pictures will make up for a little bit!
