I took the camera along when I ran the dogs this morning and I’m glad I did. Wildflower season is well underway. Unfortunately, we were out before some of the flowers woke up.
Trout Lily – also known as Dogtooth Violet, but I’m of the opinion that anything with trout in the name is a winner (see: Trout Fishing in America, Trout Mask Replica).

A year ago – to the day! – I posted pictures of my P. caudatum blooming. It may be a day or two ahead of schedule this year – the first flower is completely open – but that’s amazingly consistent response to more daylight.

Man, that’s some clear water. And the pattern on the shark’s back – wow – well done SG!
I was misting the tank a few minutes ago and spotted this guy hopping around the leaf litter.

I take it as a sign that I’ve done a decent job with the habitat – yay for world-building!
