Have you ever seen a coconut crab? Well...here you go. This little guys live in various south pacific islands and eat...yes...coconuts. They are capable of husking and cracking open the largest coconuts. I had one as a pet in my barracks room in Guam back in the service. This specimen was a dead one mounted for display.  Posted by Picasa


Red sky at night...sailors' delight. Red sky at morning...sailor take warning. Well...in this case, it was the sailors' delight. If it were not for the wires...this would have been a fantastic shot.  Posted by Picasa


Requiem for a baby kingsnake. This poor little hatchling California Mountain Kingsnake was just hit by a speeding motorist in Azusa Canyon. I got there too late to save it. It really bums you out to see things like this happen. Posted by Picasa
