Prairie pe un Cold Spring Morning

Pe un vioi 37 dimineața de grade în Illinois de Nord am decis să-mi curăț de praf camera și să explorez progresul “arc”.

My first thought was of a similar tree frog that haunted welcomed me everywhere I went in Santa Rosa National Park, Costa Rica.

Growing Pains

Sorry for the weird downtime over the last two daysthe Southern Fried Network has been experiencing wonderful growth that has severely taxed our servers.

The Bison of Catalina

Perhaps the only place in the world where you can find an American bison (vs. buffalo) standing near a beach next to a palm tree. The week on Santa Catalina was an wonderful one, and despite a cool spring with a few unseasonable frosts, some decent collecting was done.
