Artwork and tadpoles

  Recently there has been tons of rain in Gainesville and rain means water and water means ponds and ponds mean tadpoles. Even in puddles of water that are only a couple of feet wide I still have seen probably around one hundred tadpoles swimming. So while I was outside the other day, me and Sam my older brother caught a few and I brought them to my home and I'm keeping them outside in a plastic container.


I think I have about five in all and some have already turned into tiny frogs and hopped away. Unfortunately tons of water means tons of mosquitoes too.




The top picture is another dragon head I drew (which in my opinion is much better than the previous one). And the lower one is a Western Meadowlark.




Above are a few pictures I took recently, the one with the snake I got in my front yard and the other three were taken near where my younger brother Nate plays soccer. I'll be leaving on my trip next Monday so I should be able to update after that.

Summer 2015 Update




  I know I haven't updated my blog in just about forever so I'm just going to post my favorite photos from the summer. I also went to California with all of my family so that was a really fun trip.

Here's a picture of the scenery when I went to big bear THIS year. It was a great trip and I was able to see all of my cousins on my dads side of the family.


This was a picture taken Also in California while on a hike next to my grandparents house.



This is a picture of a young Florida box turtle. I had found him in my pool and took him out. The next day I set him free in my backyard.


Now this is an awesome picture of a Tomato Hornworm my brother Found on our tomato plants this morning. I thought that it was one of the coolest (yet at the same time the creepiest) looking caterpillars I've ever seen.   


I'm going to be going on a road trip later this month along the east coast so I should be able to take some great pictures while I'm there. Also I got a blogger app on my iPod Touch so I should be able to update more than once every six months or so. I'm going to try to get back into blogging again and hopefully update more often. But that just about does it for this post.
