laelaps | July 17, 2008First, thanks to all of you who have been adding my posts to StumbleUpon.com. Over the past three days my traffic has been double, even triple, of what it normally is, and as far as I can tell much of it is coming from StumbleUpon. Thank you, and I hope some of you who are new to Laelaps like what you see and stick around.
Second, here's a little teaser of the creature that will appear in tomorrow's "Photo of the Day." Any guesses as to what it is?

laelaps | July 15, 2008Today my wife and I celebrated two years of marriage, which meant heading to the Philadelphia zoo in the morning, tubing on the Delaware River in the afternoon, and a nice dinner when we got home. I've got plenty of new shots to share, but I'll start things off with one of the most unique ones, a Galapagos tortoise on skates;
It seems that this individual has trouble walking so the zoo staff rigged it up with some wheels. It got around just as well as any of the other tortoises in the enclosure, although I had never seen such a technique used to help a tortoise before.
