Well it was a week or so ago so its faded. I had been identifying right up until I went to sleep, and in the dream I think it was pretty normal. I was sifting through unknowns and giving them IDs it was not anything crazy!

If only. I have had many dreams though where I saw a new bird species and woke up disappointed. Or where my camera does not work.

When you go in for some emergency surgery (kidney stones) and when you’re recovering with pain meds, you actually hallucinate that you can see and zoom in macro.

It always amazes me how he can just sit there surrounded by the most amazing nature and read his book 
.. I love the one where he sits at the food of a primeval forest giant.. I could have stared at it all day, would there not have been the most excotic critters around it distracting me, as it was my very first encounter with one.. they are just ginormous!
