   Yeah, an interesting match to the tree from this low-angle (both got reflections of purple from above). When I was standing, the tree and salamander turned out more brownish in the photos from above. A common camo of moisture perhaps…

   Here’s a close up of another from last year:

   Paying attention to details like these makes one appreciative of nature and of life.

   photos like this make me think: "life must be built into matter" and not the other way around…such astounding creative exuberance and novelty! and another great composition from macro maestro jurvetson.

   ps: photos like this also make me think: life.exe is all one big code-base…billions of symbiotic modules (that we call "species") comprising a single self referential and infinitely evolving run-time environment…not that crazy a thought really…and the OS is a wonderfully elegant set of rules we call "the laws of physics"…OS Universe & Life.EXE…

   If you squint, you can see The Matrix in that tree…

   You reminded me of my Ode to Carbon…

    Yeah, it was just across the street. Some great trails there.

    Thanks y’all. It was some magic light… easily missed… as it depended on the angle of view
