You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being. - Hermes

I love these little guys. We have them at our zoo and they amaze me. What a great capture you've got here. Perfect clarity and wonderful colors. Excellent post Randy. Thanks.

After a bit of an absence, partly vacation but mostly tax season...busy for bookkeeping businesses... I'm glad to be back out here with at least 'some' regularity. I've missed everyone and am glad to have a little more time again.

Great shot, Randy. The only thing I'd mention is that he's so colorful that it was hard to pick out his features from the background that is equally as colorful. I think maybe a blur on the background would have helped? Just a suggestion, buddy. You're doing a great job on this tour and I'm not going to do anymore backseat driving !!!
