Lunch Time or is it? / Captured in the Wilderness…...MACRO PHOTOGRAPHY / The Gulf Fritillary / TECH INFO: Nikon D1x camera, Macro dedicated lens 200 mm To EMAIL ME please do so at myart4u@earthlink.net The Gulf Fritillary is a striking, bright orange butterfly of the family Nymphalidae and sub-family Heliconiinae. It was formerly classified in a separate family, the Heliconiidae or longwing butterflies, and like other longwings it does have long, rather narrow wings in comparison with other butterflies. It is not closely related to the true fritillaries. It is a medium to large butterfly, with a wingspan of from 6 to 9.5 cm. Its underwings are buff, with large silvery spots. It takes its name from the fact that migrating flights of the butterflies are sometimes seen over the Gulf of Mexico. The Gulf Fritillary is commonly seen in parks and gardens, as well as in open country. Its range extends from Argentina through Central America Mexico, and the West Indies to the southern United States, as far north as the San Francisco Bay Area on the west coast. It is occasionally found further north in the US.

This is an irked bluestripe garter snake giving me his death glare. See, we aren’t supposed to have this species of snake in my area (Gainesville, Florida), which meant that I just had to capture him for a few photos. To get to him, I had to lunge into cattails and grasses by a pond (nevermind that I nearly fell in) and grab him and pull him out. Understandably, he wasn’t happy about this, and he let me know by biting me. Repeatedly. So I crouched on the ground with the snake in my one bloody hand and my camera in the other and took some photos. This one I think came out the best, as it shows his serious (and justified!) annoyance at me. It was a great experience on the whole, and I wouldn’t hesitate to do it again. :) 100% of the profits from the sale of my work featuring reptiles will be donated to Wildlife Warriors Worldwide in honor of Steve Irwin who educated the world about these amazing creatures.

Loggerhead sea turtles are endangered, and their main threat is an industry that has nothing to do with them: the crabfishing industry. These turtles get caught in the crabfisher’s nets and are killed, even though the nets aren’t meant to capture them. There are many examples of this sort of collateral damage with ocean animals, and it has driven species such as porpoises, sunfish, seaturtles, and the baiji nearly to extinction (or fully to extinction in the case of the baiji). 100% of the profits from the sale of this print will be donated to the Caribbean Conservation Corporation, a four-star charity that is dedicated to the conservation and survival of the sea turtles.

I have been wanting to do a follow-up to Colors of Nature, but I wasn’t sure how I wanted to present it. Since I have already done flora, I wanted to do something with fauna, and something unique… Then it struck me how amazingly colorful snakes can be, and how that is something most wouldn’t think to notice. So, I present to you these beautiful snakes, all of whom are wild and were captured, photographed, and released in and around north and central Florida. The colors here are completely natural; I’ve not altered them at all. The snakes are: corn snake (aka red rat snake, Elaphe guttata guttata), yellow rat snake (Elaphe obsoleta quadrivittata), rough green snake (Opheodrys aestivus aestivus), and bluestripe garter snake (same one as in Feeling Blue Thamnophis sirtalis similus). I only wish I had photos of orange and purple snakes to complete the spectrum. :P / . / This is currently not for sale as a laminated print because the border won’t print well with the text on the laminated prints, since RB adds their own border. If you would like to purchase a laminated print, please let me know and I will post a version without the text. :) / . / 100% of the profits from the sale of my work featuring reptiles will be donated to Wildlife Warriors Worldwide in honor of Steve Irwin who educated the world about these amazing creatures.

I imagine that the world must look pretty huge and intimidating when you are a tiny newly hatched anole (lizard). In fact the world probably looks pretty big and intimidating to most of us as well, and rightly so. But look on the bright side: the bigger our world, the more things there are to do, places there are to explore, and friends there are to make. :) This shot was taken in Gainesville, Florida, at Payne’s Prairie State Preserve. 100% of the profits from the sale of my work featuring reptiles will be donated to Wildlife Warriors Worldwide in honor of Steve Irwin who educated the world about these amazing creatures.

This is the Florida cottonmouth, a snake that I love and respect dearly. Cottonmouths have such bad reputations, and it makes me so sad because they are such fantastic creatures. There is a commonly held belief that they “chase people away from their nests” and “aggressively stand their ground.” These ideas are simply a total misinterpretation of their behavior. Snakes are not humans; you cannot interpret their actions in human terms, you must interpret their actions in snake terms. First of all, cottonmouths don’t ever nest. In fact the only snake in the world that nests is the king cobra. Second, when a cottonmouth or any snake moves toward you on the ground, it is not an aggressive move; rather, they are fleeing. See, snakes have poor eyesight and they get confused easily when scared. They look at you and see something big and mistake you for a tree or some other form of shelter under which they can hide. Thirdly, what we see as a cottonmouth “standing its ground” is really just the snake remaining motionless in the hopes that you won’t see it. If it flees, you are more likely to see it and eat it (at least that is what it thinks). This cottonmouth is giving me its characteristic open-mouthed defensive display. In the hundred or more cottonmouths with which I’ve interacted, this is the one and only time I have ever witnessed its defense display. And it only threatened me because I was being annoying, laying on the ground in front of it on my stomach with my camera in one hand and a stick in the other trying to move the brush away from it get a clear shot. As soon as I put the stick down, the defense display stopped and the snake turned and left. This shot was taken across the road from my house north of Gainesville, Florida. 100% of the profits from the sale of this image will be donated to Steve Irwin’s Wildlife Warriors Worldwide.

This is a southern black racer (Coluber constrictor priapus) that I found stuck in some netting that was very tight and cutting into his body. He would have died had I left him, so I picked him up and brought him home to get some scissors to cut off the netting. Now, racers are very high strung, and most don’t appreciate being handled too much. There have been exceptions, but for the most part, if you pick up a racer, you are probably going to get bitten (the bites are really just scratches, and they aren’t venomous). Given the state that this guy was in, I figured he might be a bit more sedate; I figured wrong. He struck at me over and over and over again, obviously not caring that I was trying to save his silly life. Somehow he managed to never make contact, but it certainly wasn’t for lack of trying. When I got him back to my house, i put him in my lap and cut away the netting. Surprisingly, he held completely still the entire time and didn’t try to strike once. But as soon as the last piece of netting was cut away, he shot out of my lap and immediately turned to strike at me (he missed again). Ingrate! There was no light outside at this point, so I put him on the vanity in my bathroom to take a few shots. Bathrooms don’t provide the best lighting, hence the extremely shallow DOF from shooting at f/2.5. When I was done, I carried him to a part of my property to be released. He didn’t actually try to strike at me at this stage, which I guess for a racer is thank you enough. :) 100% of the profits from the sale of my work featuring reptiles will be donated to Wildlife Warriors Worldwide in honor of Steve Irwin who educated the world about these amazing creatures.
