I just saw this image on Christopher Reiger’s blog:

Red-spotted Newt (Notophthalmus viridescens viridescens)

along with others he took on a visit to the Monongahela National Forest in eastern West Virginia. Check out this post for his thoughts and more photos.

We spotted some lovely drawings of such creatures by him at the recent Salon de Expace #3 at AG Gallery.

I’m starting to put photos I take using my cell phone on Flickr. Go here or use the photos (newer) link on my homepage to check them out.

Market by Jesse Chan-Norris

One of my favorite web visits each day is Jesse Chan-Norris’s photoblog.

I’ve put up one a recent image, in a larger size than I normally post photos, so you can see how good it is.

I met Jesse during a meal, organized by my friend Michael Pinto, at the Afghan restaurant Bamiyan a few days after 9/11. Michael was a regular, and wanted to make sure the restaurant was supported in those days of “kill them all!”

I took this with my new toy, a Sony Ericsson K750i. It also plays MP3s.
