I love creating art in series so in today’s blog post I go behind-the-scenes of 5 of my art series to show how I create a consistent look-and-feel for each.

The sand #lizard is back to check if I am doing my work correctly in the #garden

I think he approved my good work and he might be as exciting as me of the food, which we can find in the garden in a few weeks :)

We saw our first Gila Monster 😍 of the season in our yard last week! They are soooo beautiful (so of course I had to paint it for my Perpetual Journal)!!! 🥰 Yes, they’re venomous, but they don’t attack humans unless really provoked.

Literally...As I was trying to get a picture of this Banana / Cuban Cockroach (Panchlora nivea) ....this happened!! (Anolis carolinensis)

After further research (and my husband saying "that looks more like a cockroach") I believe I now have the correct insect ID. It is not a Red-eyed Leafhopper (Gyponana cf-serpenta).

#WorldTurtleDay I was thrilled to spot this Northern Map Turtle, a species of concern, on the Shawanaga River Ontario Canada. These Northern Map Turtles, at the slightest hint of danger, slip in to the water. The Map Turtles are a freshwater turtle and the light markings resemble the contours of a map, hence the name.

I saw a lot of wildlife today, primarily birds. But I also saw two lively snakes down by the river. I’m not sure what kind this is, but I saw a garter snake later on in the forest. #snake #reptile #wildlife #WildlifePhotography

A dark grey snake with brown stripes slithers down the side of a boulder. His little forked tongue is protruding, and he’s moving down toward a pile of twigs.

Have you ever heard of the Eastern Indigo snake?

I want to tell you about them and point you to the wiki page for a few reasons.

1. They are absolutely beautiful snakes & the longest in North America.

2. Because of habitat loss, the eastern indigo snake is listed as a federally threatened species in Georgia and Florida.

3. Just looking at the taxonomy synonyms reminds me that science is a messy process.

Look how many different genus names it was given, by scientists who were aware of previous classifications. You can tell this by the consistent species name.

Chameleon video taken with the Z6 :D Apparently it has great video capabilities and is often bought by videographers but I rarely video with it XD

I stripped the audio track because it's just wind, but protip: put a song on and the chameleon will move its eyes to the music :P

Video of a chameleon. It's head-on facing the camera, surrounded by green leaves and berries, with yellow flowers blurred in the background. It's moving slowly toward the camera, eyes moving independently in all directions, and eventually you can see bright blue and orange down its side.

This is Boudicca, an African spurred #tortoise who loves cherry tomatoes. She was malnourished before being rescued, which caused the unusual pyramidal development of her shell. She now lives happily in a university #greenhouse where she is well cared for and free to roam from biome to biome.

Very cool news in my Inbox! The #Reptile Database compiles the taxonomic information for the worlds reptiles. The newest edition holds exactly 12,000 species, plus another 2,142 subspecies!

And they are adding synonyms!!! This is huge. One of my biggest struggles with my thesis is the #taxonomy Utilizing multiple datasets that dont all agree with one another takes a long time to validate.

Very happy to see this work!

Up and out well before dawn. This American Alligator was hanging motionless in the perfectly still waters of a #Florida wetland. His head the only part that was above water made a perfect mirror reflection under the gray sky making a beautiful minimalist artwork piece for nature lovers.

Size is around 7x7 cm (2.75 x 2.75 inches)

I wanted to try my last pixel art croco design in cross stitch. It kinda work I think. Maybe I should try to make a patch like this (without the text). :D

I think it would have look better with 3 strand of thread instead of 2. With 3 strand you can't see as much the fabric between the stitches.

A really low "pixel art" cross stitch chibi crocodile looking at viewer. He seems happy. Above them it's written : " PIZZA! " Everything is in cross stitch and all the outlines are made with very dark green lines.

#2 Happiness is a warm ass... and tail!

#3 Photo does a bad job at illustrating the size of this python... I could fit in there too!

Along with being out on trails for bird watching, comes other parts of nature. On this day, earlier in March, it was look down and all around as there were a number of snakes on the move. This one is a Water Snake, I think a Diamondback. Seen on the southern border of Texas.
