Faster Caterpillar

I put some pictures from around the yard on Tumblr today. (This is a juvenile gopher tortoise that was under my clothesline yesterday. She's probably about 2 years old.) The more I study this HAZWOPER stuff the more I get nostalgic for the plants and animals. And honestly I'm pretty fascinated with dirt and rocks and water too. All this living stuff is not the last word in the world if you ask me.

But I concede that live things have more universal appeal, so I made this video for my nieces.
