Sunday Switchup: A Boy And His Snake

Posted on July 31, 2016 by Adam Lang

Lucy the ‘blood python‘, to be exact. She’s 3, and about 10 pounds and 4 feet long tail-tip to tongue-tip. I was riding along in the bus on the way to work one morning, and I looked out the window and … Continue reading →

Posted on May 8, 2016 by Adam Lang

I know, I know. This is not a political blog, I don’t post political stuff. But this isn’t political, I promise! I was just sitting down to use a coworker’s computer a few weeks ago and I looked down at the … Continue reading →

Sunday Switchup: Anna’s Hummingbird

Posted on May 1, 2016 by Adam Lang

I am tickled every time I see one of these, and when I get close enough to one to take pictures I always do. Sometimes they come out all right. Separately… I know that there are other things to be … Continue reading →
