Here are some random pictures I have taken at various destinations. Traveling is one of my special interests.
These were all shot on a Nikon DSLR and minimally edited.

Cedar chests are an amazing invention--preservative? or storage? They're both!

It's amazing what people figure out. And it only took 20 years. This is a little obsessive.

I kinda look like this guy. Mr. Beezow DooDoo ZopittyBop Bop Bop. Crystal Meth is a helluva drug.

Who said bats weren't cute? These are baby fruit bats being rehabilitated.

I find certain species of bats cute such as the leaf-nosed bat. Most bats are very gentle and wouldn’t hurt you unless they have no other choice.

We have a lot of microbats around here, @Captain Jigglypuff - and sometimes we've had them in the house!

Here's a blurry image of one top middle, as we're encouraging it to leave by the exit door...



Sometimes they have woken us up by whirring about our faces at night, after accidentally getting in the house...

One reason bats have an unfriendly reputation is because of the faces they often pull in the photos, but that is actually because someone is holding them by their wingtips for the photograph...off the edge of the photo...

I love getting books with bat photos and turning the pages upside-down so I can see bats the right way up!

I also think the bad rep is partially due to horror stories about vampires and vampire bats. It’s sort of like black cats in the US. The vampire bat is really the only species of bats that will attack humans on their own but only as a way to be fed and out of desperation.

I looove the tube-nosed bats....
