Here’s a photo of a praying mantis, one of several I’ve come across recently. The term “mantis” apparently is of Greek etymology, meaning “prophet” or “fortune teller”, probably referring to the unique prayer-like stance the insect takes.
I’m sure they’re around all year long, but autumn is when I seem to come across them most, […]
It’s been a couple of weeks since I’ve posted anything. Life’s been hectic…meetings, articles to submit, errands to run…the usual.

If you read my posts from Tonga earlier this year, you might remember the abandoned golden retriever that I adopted and eventually found a home for. The dog’s name is Alex, and previously belonged to a couple who run Beluga Divers. They abandoned the dog and left it for dead.

先日僕はカメラマン福田幸広さんと初めて会いました。以前福田さんの写真集で非常に可愛い北海道のリスの写真を見て、会いたいなとずっと思っていたら、念願が叶いました。
ちょうどPNG Japanの山辺さんとManateesの山崎さんと食事をしている時に、福田さんの新しい写真集の話になった。その場で、山崎さんが連絡を取ってくれて、福田さんが来てくれました。
福田さんは主に陸の動物の撮影をしていますが、マナティーが大好きで、今回写真集「マナティー・人間と遊ぶゆかいな仲間」二見書房・１３００円税別を出版されました。とっても愛らしくまたCrystal River に行って直接マナティーに会いたくなるような写真集です。
