Anna and David's beetles

Anna and David went camping with Jay over the weekend (it was amazing how quiet it was around here) and this is what they caught. They were expecting to catch horny toads and lizards, but on their hikes they only saw a glimpse of one lizard and a mouse. They were bummed to only come home with two beetles.The home they made for them...see the piece of licorice?

This is Bryan Posting. Brandon and I went out to the desert near our neighborhood. Of course you can always find a couch in the desert. It was a lizard hotel. We had to get a picture.

We tried to catch this baby wiptail.


This guy kept us running around the couch. Here he is peeking around the corner.

This roadrunner posed for us.

Night Hike

Sorry this is so late. We went on a night hike last weekend with Brandon, Jaxon, Jayden, Gage, Jordan and Me. Some of these pictures got posted on our family blog, but they are not at home until they arrive here...



Jordan shined his black light on him while I took this with the flash turned off. I think it turned out pretty good. This was not a small scorpin.

Nature's Transformers

The fuzzy caterpillar (above) that I brought down from the Rim made himself a cocoon. We forgot about it for a few weeks and this is what emerged:
