"Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created." Revelation 4:11  Desert Mountains panorama from Mount Lemmon Tucson Arizona Each year my wife and I take a trip to Tucson, Arizona for our Fellowship's annual Bible Conference. This year we were able to visit Mt. Lemmon. Just outside of Tucson, the winding road takes you to the top of this beautiful mountain with a spectacular view over the desert and the city of Tucson. There is a short ski lift that we took to the top. Imagine, skiing in Arizona! Although it was near 100 degrees in the city, it was a chilly and windy 68 degrees on top of the mountain.

Rough Green Snake, Opheodrys aestivus, Walton County, Georgia. Another frantic caller to 911 sent one of our officers out to catch this "highly venomous Green Mamba" that must have escaped from an exotic animal collection. Well, actually, it was just a Rough Green Snake; a very common and harmless garden variety snake found here in Georgia. But a very beautiful specimen nonetheless! Rough Green Snakes (Opheodrys aestivus) are probably the most arboreal snakes in our region and spend the majority of their time hunting for insects, spiders, and other invertebrates in vegetation well above the ground. When encountered, green snakes often freeze, relying on their green coloration for camouflage.

We gently knocked it down with a pool brush safely into a bucket. After finishing breakfast, I took him down the road for a photo shoot in a more natural setting before releasing him to do what Texas Tarantulas do. Aphonopelma hentzi, the Texas brown tarantula, is one of the most common species of tarantula thriving in the southern-most United States today. Texas brown tarantulas can grow in excess of a four inch leg span. The body is dark brown. Shades may vary between individual tarantulas and are more distinct after a moult.
