Frog Blog

This past weekend, I visited National Geographic Museum exhibition "Face to Face with Frogs: The Photographs of Mark Moffett" and "Frogs! A Chorus of Colors" (January 25 through May 11).
Mark Moffett will be hosting a special lecture in the Grosvenor Auditorium of the National Geographic Society in DC.
The show is called "Army Ants, Orchids, and Dancing Frogs"

My favorites are the Poison Dart Frogs.
These little guys are packed with color!

Here's a Waxy Monkey Frog Phyllomedusa sauvagii basking in the warmth of a lamp.
These frogs like it HOT. They seal in moisture by giving themselves a rubdown with a waxy substance secreted through skin glands. Climbing to an exposed perch, they draw in their arms and legs and sleep in the sun. They awaken and hunt at night when the air temperature and the rate of water loss are lower.

Bethesda Bridal Show

We just attended the Bethesda Bridal Show this past Sunday. There were several hundred brides in attendance. Thank you to all the brides who stopped by our booth. We had a really great time mingling and sharing our work. The presentation looked great. Our pictures were displayed as a slideshow across two monitors, as well as albums by Leathercraftsmen and Willowbook. We also brought our companion books and proof magazines to show. For a bit of interactive fun, we set up our Self-Portait PhotoBooth and the "brides to be" jumped in with their friends to take their own photo! The show was a success!
