Grumpy kitty
![]() |
Tansy showed up at our ranch with a matted coat and an abscessed front leg in February. It's now about 7 months later and her hair has grown back, but she still looks grumpy. |

After some doctoring and a shave she looked like one angry kitty. |

At her grumpiest. She's actually a sweet cat, but with a few behavioral difficulties. |
Painful bites

It's my spider photo in The Week. Sometimes by obsession with bugs and macro photography pays off. |

Frog eye
![]() |
A bullfrog floats in a cattle watering trough on a ranch near Roseburg, Ore., on Monday, Sept. 16, 2013. Bullfrogs are considered to be an invasive species in the western United States. I photographed this same frog yesterday, but today it was less shy and I was able to get nice and close. The bottom plate on my Nikon D4 got a little wet on this one. |

The photo agency I work with (ZUMAPRESS.com) featured the photo in their Pictures of the Day gallery. |

Smile, it's a Jerusalem cricket
![]() |
A Jerusalem cricket looks over a dried grass stem as it climbs on a moss covered log on a forested hillside near Elkton. The large insects are native to the western United States and Mexico. While Jerusalem crickets are not venomous they can emit a foul smell and are capable of inflicting a painful bite if handled. |

I guess this was a friendly one. No stink and no bites. |

Fruit harvest
I spent the day harvesting about 10,000 pounds of Moyer prune plums. I made a short video of the process.

Fruit bandit

I found a cute little skunk lurking in the orchard tonight. He was probably picking up fallen fruit before we gave each other a fright. |

Shall we pray?

A praying mantis climbs a tree limb in an orchard on a farm near Elkton, Ore., on Monday, Sept. 2, 2013. Mantises are strictly predatory and are considered beneficial by most gardeners and farmers. Shot with my amazing Nikon 105 Af-S VR f/2.8 lens. |
