Beautiful Picture of the Platypus.

The mapping of the Platypus-Genome gave hints to the Question of the autosomal origin of the X-Chromosome. Sex chromosome Evolution. Here is a review: The origin and evolution of vertebrate sex chromosomes and dosage compensation.

Coyote, while quietly sitting in the in the hills yesterday watching the red tail hawk this guy came wandering by. Seemed really relaxed until he saw me...

From today - very windy, dark under that palm leaf: ISO800, F6.3 and still 1/40s! On other hand it's where 500mm beats 105mm macro (I was feeling save!).

I don't know what type of insects these are - but they are looking too much like wasps to disagree with your preference to keep your distance
Nice shots of those stingy critters! Lots of detail, without distraction from the environment

Those are Paper Wasps. Very common down here in S Florida. You're safe as long as you don't mess with their nest...

A wee walk about with the R and the 100-400 mkii I came across a couple of water monitors getting a bit frisky.
