At the request of many of you, I’ve added captions to the slideshow photos I posted last November. Those slideshows can always be found from the home page of this blog (under the Photography Page). In addition, I’ve provided links to each at the end of this post.

Now that I’ve got them labeled, I’d appreciate any help you can give me in identifying species correctly. I’m pretty confident about the vertebrates and plants, but could sure use some assistance with the invertebrates. If you see one that I’ve got wrong, or you can identify it more specifically, please let me know by adding a comment below the slideshow.

Thank you – I hope you enjoy the photos.

This fall, I was honored to be the banquet speaker at the first annual conference of the Nebraska Natural Legacy Project (Nebraska’s state wildlife action plan). For the event, I presented a slide show that I hoped would showcase the diversity and beauty in Nebraska’s natural landscapes. During the last several weeks, I’ve had several requests from people to make the slide show available on-line.

Well, I’ve done that, but I rearranged the show a little and separated it into five separate short videos that are each about 3 minutes long. If you’re interested, you can view each of them by clicking on the links below. They can also be accessed from the home page of this blog, either by clicking on “Photos” at the top of the page or by following the links under “Pages” on the right side of the page.

I hope you enjoy them.
