    This animal is less than 2 inches and I noticed something on it so I enlarged the front of it. There it was, some guy's reflection in such a small thing.

    That's incredible Kildale. How observant of you to spot that reflection in such a small creature.

    I was looking closely at other photos of animals etc to see what else was there with them, sponges or worms, limpets etc..

    Sheesh. How did you see that? I had to look very closely to find it in the enlargement, let alone in the actual small animal. Keen eyes, Kildale.

    Yes, it doesn't hit you in the eye does it. Have had most if not all of the animals from my outing ID'd by the BC museum curators etc.

    You're really into some neat projects there Kildale -- after the pics are id'd, do you do anything with the pics? They are such wonderful references.

    Oh, I am familiar with your nature site, Kildale and it IS fantastic!! I have spent time there a number of times. I was more wondering if your photos are in reference books and things of that nature.

    I worked on 3 wildflower books, I did the coastal one. I have had 20 or 30 photos in 3 various books. Have requests each monthe for the use of images. The latest from the BC museum. I also have regular photos in Gardens West magazine. Probably had close to 500 images published. Don't try marketing now, I let the people contact me, although they have to find my email as it is not on any of my web sites. Just enjoy working on the Nature site.

    Thank you for the comments Mary Ann. Always busy as we add topics and new monthly images, and of course a lot of work goes into our free news letter.
