I've got answers. The red-eyed tree frog: yes, I took that photo. They are patient creatures so I was able to snap away till I got the angle and the light the way I wanted. Lighting is hard. Even with the flash turned down, both my cameras wipe out detail and change the color balance. Instead, this is lit by flashlights pointed just-so. The magic snake: I'm holding it. S/he's wrapped around my wrist at that second. Unlike the froggie, it flew around constantly and fast. You never knew what would happen between when your brain told you to take the picture and when the shutter snapped. This is what Jill captured. Spiders: Are the only thing charmed by my washed-out blue eyes. Pumas: Please learn to share better. You’ve got questions. I’ve got answers.

Neat! I'm jealous. (Costa Rica! Here also, I'm jealous. But you knew that.) I see pumas all the time; if you'd expressed to me this lifelong desire of yours, I could easily have lent you one for a few nights. That first frog picture is *stunning* -- did you take it all by your little self? It rather resembles Stella, at least 'round the eyes. Please explain to me the very last picture. I can't quite work it out. Is the snake levitating? Falling tail-first from a tree? Or is it simply being charmed by your washed-out blue eyes? Blue morphos! Neat! I’m jealous. (Costa Rica!

Please explain to me the very last picture. I can’t quite work it out. Is the snake levitating? Falling tail-first from a tree? Or is it simply being charmed by your washed-out blue eyes?
