Turns out lil baby newts are just as elusive and difficult to capture on film as any other cryptid. Follow me for more photography tips

There are many benefits to being a marine biologist and studying drugs in water systems. For example, now that I am prescribed fluoxetine, I may not know when the drowsiness will wear off, but I DO have data to suggest how I'll perform in a novel arena or when faced with a conspecific.

Stop making me look at the Dire wolf stuff when there is an amphibian crisis
I say this every time de-extinction comes up: it makes no sense to devote science to bringing back extinct animals when we can’t be bothered to keep extant ones alive in the first place.

I met a nice gal at my caving club who invited me to paint cave scenery with her and I'm so!! Excited!!!
Someday in the future we are also going to plan a plein air (live on location) day of painting IN a cave!!!

Found some cool websites with reference photos to practice form and anatomy! Adhering to the time limit is so tricky when you're a perfectionist, but it's such good practice

I took this job specifically because it pays me to visit national parks and explore, but now I just want to quit this job and do those things full time
