Welcome to my Flickr 365 Project!  I’m calling it my 365 Species Project, because for each day of the year, I will post a photo of a different species of organism...  

At the moment, I've fallen really far behind on my project.  I know that some of you are quite disappointed, and that many others of you have simply lost interest.  Well, I'm getting back to a lot more field work, which means a lot more opportunities to photograph new species.  I've actually just gotten back from an awesome work trip to the Dry Tortugas with enough photos to get all caught up!  So stay tuned!

So today is day #147 of 365, but this is just photo #99.
