Primordial Ooze

I’d like to take this opportunity to introduce you to Cricket, the newest member of our family:

and this is his food:

Cricket is a Bearded Dragon. We got him last week but I waited this long to mention it because I didn’t know if he’d last the week in our crazy house. We’ve been feeding him a soy supplement all week but today we treated him to live crickets. The little guys didn’t stand a chance. Cricket ate them all up in about 60 seconds. Cricket is an omnivore, so we expect to feed him lots of leafy vegetables, too.

I took the pictures you see here with my Sony DSC-R1 camera with a special adapter lense which makes focusing on small/close objects easier. I didn’t do more than point the camera and shoot after that. Flickr has all of the EXIF details if you are interested. I have a lot to learn about macrophotography so please excuse the faults in these images.
