A close up of the scales of an Eastern Gartersnake (Thamnophis sirtalis), they are stained a muddy brown color from the snake spending the winter underground in its hibernaculum. Who knows, maybe this was the first day of the year that it climbed out from underneath the ground?
It was smoking hot at the Martin Refuge in Mission Texas when I took this photo. Very uncomfortable but good news for photography as the hot conditions brought the birds in to ponds to drink. One of the highlights of our visit was this pair of scaled quails (male in the foreground, female in the background).
According to the Cornell Lab, scaled quails "live year-round in desert grasslands and shrublands of the Southwest, including open plains, hills, mesas, sagebrush, and pinyon-juniper woodlands up to about 7,000 feet elevation."

I rented that bike in Rotorua, New Zealand after being told that there were great pathes in the hills around town.
What I didn't know was that what kiwis called great pathes actually are for suicidal adrenalyne junky with 3 meters gaps or really narrow trunks that you have to ride on no matter if they are a couple of meters above the ground.
So I took a break and that photo.
It seemed less embarrassing.
The Wampanoag guests arrive and they sat down at Elizabeth's table. Her husband lead the group in a prayer of Thanksgiving.
So many objects have a direct correlation above and below water, this pine cone reminds me of fish scales.
I take a photo (or two) of her at every Dragon*Con it seems. She was featured in the 2009 Maxim article about the "Girls of Dragon*Con."
Huangshan, Anhui. China.
To give this a sense of scale, the vegetation on top of the peak are fully grown pine trees.
The Huangshan mountain range comprises many peaks, some more than 1,000 meters (3,250 feet) high. The three tallest and best-known peaks are Lotus Peak (Lian Hua Feng, 1,864 m), Bright Summit Peak (Guang Ming Ding, 1,840 m), and Celestial Peak (Tian Du Feng,1,829 m).
The mountains were formed in the Mesozoic, about 100 million years ago, when an ancient sea disappeared due to uplift. Later, in the Quaternary Period, the landscape was shaped by the influence of glaciers.
