About three weeks or so ago, Don Iguan, my 5 foot iguana decided to take a bite of my hand.
It was my fault, really. He was agitated and upset about something. I was in a hurry to get to work, and I was feeding him from above the door so he wouldn't get out and I wouldn't have to spend the next half-hour trying to get him back in.
The next thing I know, two of my fingers are covered by iguana mouth, filled with little razor sharp teeth. (Actually, if I want to be honest, most of the damage was probably caused when I jerked away. I couldn't help it. It was fortunate that he wasn't trying to hurt me either. He let go instantly. If he'd held on, the damage would have been much worse.)
So instead of getting to work on time, I spent half the day in the emergency room.
Anyway, these pictures were taken two weeks after the injury, after the wounds had healed up. They're probably going to scar that way, since my hand pretty much looks the same a week later.
So new or potential iguana owners, take a good look. This could be you - and probably will be at some time or another.

On this scene you can see the size difference between a male and a female elephant seal, he tries to mate and holds her down with force...but she is not ready yet...
Dr. Aithal was showing us these little snakes just recently hatched. Fierce, aggressive instinct of this Snake was conspicuous going by how it was biting Dr. Aithal's fingers while its siblings curled up in the corner.
Dr. Aithal was not bothered. "Not poisonous", he said, provoking the little snake furthermore.

Temperatures fell into the 20's F this morning. Well below freezing. The damage is quickly evident on the tulip tree. The red maple and butterfly bush are drooping. The full frost bite effect is not apparent yet.
Our little safflower farm still seems to be thriving. :-)
The arrival of frost is not surprising since the "Average Last Frost Date" for this area is April 10.
Romeo at Myrtle Beach, SC ~ 9 1/2 months old ~ Labor Day weekend ~ 9/2/07
Romeo has been working like a dog all summer, and it was finally time for a break. We went to Myrtle Beach, SC, his first time at the ocean, and he had a blast. He was nice enough to pose for a few photos first, although a little distracted, understandably. Then, it was off to his first task of the day, digging a hole to China and flinging sand all over anyone in his path, especially since the wind was blowing so hard. Next was a little surfing, which he took to like a fish in water. He ran full speed ahead straight into the waves, and I think the only thing stopping him was the leash with me at the end of it hanging on for dear life. He was fascinated with the foam at the edge of the water which appeared to be alive as it was blown by the wind, and a little scared of a piece of seaweed, although it wasn't moving. He enjoyed taking a long stroll down the beach under the moonlight, as there were lots of buried treasures to find. And believe me, everything is a treasure when you are a dalmatian puppy! I think his favorite find was a pair of blue goggles. He would hold them down with his paws and stretch the strap out with his mouth, sometimes letting it snap back and doing it again. And, of course, he got lots of attention, almost constant, from kids who wanted to pet him and from people who were entertained by him, and one lady wanted to take his picture and told us that she had a dalmatian who died 4 years ago. For anyone who is not familiar with Myrtle Beach, it is like a carnival, especially where we were - near the Ripley's Believe It or Not museum, shops, arcades, and hot dog and pizza shops - and especially on Labor Day weekend, so between the people, the ocean, the trash, the music, the lights, and the many activities, he was in puppy heaven! No quiet deserted beaches for this boy! The more noise and activity the better, and he had so much excitement for one day that he threw up all over the front seat of the car and was passed out the whole way home. All in all, it was a fun-filled day and, needless to say, just what the doctor ordered for this exuberant adolescent puppy!
