Some random pics I took around my town...

Waxeye in the cherry blossum
Wow this is a great thread, I love to see what personality comes out in peoples pics. I enjoy seeing the far away places and the things some people see and is "normal" too them that I rarely if ever have seen up close. Some of the photos here definitely rival any published work I have seen as well ie National Geographic etc.
Here is my 2 cents.
This was taken in Fitton cave in the Buffalo national forest, in Arkansas. There is roughly 11 miles of pitch black cave.

Another flashlight experience. We hunt these long pincherd crayfish at night. Some are as long as 9" from tip to tail (me on the left)

One of the wonders of living in the tropics... hummingbirds!![]()
This little fellow got inside our house and couldn't get out. We tried to coax him towards open doors and windows but nothing worked.
He finally dropped on the floor and wouldn't move. He wouldn't even open his eyes and I could barely see him breathing. Hummingbirds need amazing amounts of energy to survive, so I suspected this poor guy must've exhausted most (if not all) of his reserves.
Remembering a tip from an ornithologist friend of mine, I quickly prepared an oversaturated solution of sugar water and started "force-feeding" it to the hummingbird. At first, the poor thing wouldn't even open its beak, but slowly it started sipping from the syringe. Slooooowly but surely it started opening its eyes, and then, in the blink of an eye, it flew away! He was sipping sugar water for a good 5-10 minutes before flying away.
I leave you with a pic of this beautiful bird:

Can anyone guess where I took this picture? A hint: it's on the west coast.
