The name “gecko” comes from an Indonesian word, gekok, which is imitative of the distinctive cry that geckos make. Geckos are unique among the lizards because they communicate through vocalizations, using a range of chirps to exchange information with each other.
Members of this family have a another very distinctive feature. The four to five feet of a gecko, depending on the species, have very fine bristles which are tipped with suction-cup like structures. These bristles allow geckos to scuttle straight up walls, tree trunks, and other smooth surfaces, and they are a distinct advantage in hunting; in the tropics, geckos can often be found hanging out on the ceiling near lights
Most geckos have stocky, squat bodies, and some are able to regenerate their thick tails if they are injured. These reptiles typically lay eggs, and they are carnivorous, preferring small animals like insects to eat. Many geckos are brightly colored to blend in with the tropical environment, and some are actually able to change color to blend in with their surroundings, another advantage for geckos on the hunt.
There are a number of different types of gecko. The largest of the geckos is the tokay gecko, which also happens to be quite aggressive!

Wildlife Preserve Sunset I was surprised when I opened this up, I don't remember shooting this I was so engrossed in getting shots in before sundown. This is a magical place. A birdwatchers paradise just 8 miles from the city. Thank you again Snaptam for taking me here.

The thing was gigantic!! Hans was having hallucinations that involved garlic and olive oil...... :-)
Much to the amusement of ranger Jan (Rhino Post- and Rhino plains Camp in Kruger) who is more accustomed to people focusing on the Big 5, the only way I could capture this beauty was by lying flat on the (very wet) road. I think more pictures have been taken of me doing this than of the snail itself... :-)
I am now on Twitter at @TJScottPictures - twitter.com/#!/TJScottPictures - and would love to have you follow me.
Such beautiful creatures.
I now think it is a hover Fly -- in disguise. (see the note.)
By far the best Viewed Larger On Black

Recent images by Bald Monk and ICT_Photo inspired me to go purchase a fish tank and start playing. These are from my first ever session with a tank. I can't tell you how much fun it was! More to come when time allows.

The pure, the bright,
The beautiful that stirred our hearts in youth,
The impulses to wordless prayer,
The streams of love and truth,
The longing after something lost,
The spirit's yearning cry,
The striving after better hopes;
These things can never die.

I will never tire of taking shots of these. The symettry and intricasies never cease to amaze me. I take shots of them every year,but they are always different. Each one is unique.
Path to dreamtime beach
The expression 'Dreamtime' is most often used to refer to the 'time before time', or 'the time of the creation of all things', while 'Dreaming' is often used to refer to an individual's or group's set of beliefs or spirituality.
For instance, an Indigenous Australian might say that they have Kangaroo Dreaming, or Shark Dreaming, or Honey Ant Dreaming, or any combination of Dreamings pertinent to their 'country'. However, many Indigenous Australians also refer to the creation time as 'The Dreaming'.
What is certain is that 'Ancestor Spirits' came to Earth in human and other forms and the land, the plants and animals were given their form as we know them today.
These Spirits also established relationships between groups and individuals, (whether people or animals) and where they traveled across the land, or came to a halt, they created rivers, hills, etc., and there are often stories attached to these places.
Once their work was done, the Ancestor Spirits changed again; into animals or stars or hills or other objects. For Indigenous Australians, the past is still alive and vital today and will remain so into the future. The Ancestor Spirits and their powers have not gone, they are present in the forms into which they changed at the end of the 'Dreamtime' or 'Dreaming', as the stories tell.
The stories have been handed down through the ages and are an integral part of an Indigenous person's 'Dreaming'.
Let me tell you 'bout the birds and the bees
and the flowers and the trees,
the moon up above, and the thing called love.
Let me tell you 'bout the stars in the sky,
the girl and the guy
and the way they could kiss
on a night like this.
