National Squirrel Appreciation Day is noticed on January 21. It’s everything in regard to the squirrel. They are so beautiful, from the large cute eyes, to the little standing ears, to the fluffy-tailed hair. The nut-burying herbivorous animal performs a vital function within the setting. It is essential to understand and acknowledge these scurrying animals for his or her lively function. National Squirrel Appreciation Day was created to acknowledge all various kinds of squirrels.

**The squirrel in this image was destroying a towel we had draped over a picnic table to dry. He was so cute that we didn't have the heart to scold him.

I found this little dead leaf still hanging on an alder tree near our cabin. With all of the wind we have had recently - I don't know how it hung on. While a dead leaf is not necessarily a thing of beauty - with a little Photoshop work he looked a bit more pleasing to the eye.

I had a bag of birds. They were making a lot of noise in the house, so I took them to the park and let them out. I think they are happy now.

I was going to name this “Pelican Bay”… because of the pelican. However, the scene was actually shot at Charlotte Harbor in southwestern Florida. Incidentally, the small boat is a lobster or crab fisherman's… if you enlarge the photo sufficiently, you can see one of the large traps on his boat.

I spent several years living in the rain forest of Southeast Alaska. In this image you see a forest service cabin on Admiralty Island. There is a brown bear for every square mile on the island, for a population of about 1,600 bears. That is more than the whole lower 48 US states combined. While Doc and I had a few close encounters - no bear ever became aggressive.

Happy 20th Birthday Flickr

I took the original photo of a 'blue' orchid and post processed it 'pink'.

I flipped the image and combined the two, making it look like a reflection.

Another ethereal cool blue ripple with a cartoony digital artifact playing with the way we always seem to see faces when there's nothing there, . . . :D

Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus is a novel written by

author Mary Shelley

The images of the faltering lotus leaf and the waterlily were taken in the garden ponds at the RBG.

The camera settings shown are of the lotus leaf (main image). The pond was cleared of unwanted reflections/plants and the waterlily was added for visual balance.
