Symbiosis

I've been into photography for a while, and finally picked up Photoshop CS4 to improve my photos.

Here's a favorite of mine I recently touched up in photoshop to make the colors more like I remembered them being:

It's a little tree frog I found living in one of the pitchers of a Sarracenia 'Dana's Delight' in my back yard in September 2007. Actually, there were four of them huddled in that pitcher.

I've just been busy.

I've had quite a die-off among my plants, mostly among the utrics.

Would like to re-aquire some U. dichotoma -- that had pretty flowers.

There were 3 or 4 living in that pitcher. My guess is they found shelter from hot sun and predators during the day, and a ready source of food. The plant got pre-digested, easily absorbed nitrogenous matter.

That is a stunning photograph.

*Makes note to self to pick up Photoshop CS4*
