In the Pocket of a Keeper Part Deux

Or: Hey! I can actually do work with this thing (kinda)! Another week of constant camera carrying has concluded, chronicling my crazy week (I love alliteration!). This week I’ve learned a few things: 1) You take your camera home A LOT when you keep it in your pocket all the time 2) That’s not such a bad thing because you end up running into people who ask you if you work at the Museum (because you are still wearing yourRead more

Watersnake Goes Fishing

A while back I posted a video of the snake eating mice and also one of the box turtle eating some salad.
