With all my blogging these past two months, I’m getting behind on cataloging all the pictures I take each day, typically somewhere between 200 and 500. My employee, Eric Cooper, whom I hired in April 2011 to help me catalog 53,000 pictures (which has since grown to 73,000 pictures) is off pretending to be a WordPress expert, and with the path he’s on, he’ll be there soon. That leaves me to somehow find motivation to catalog as well as photograph.
In order to motivate myself, I decided that each day I’ll catalog some animal pictures, choose up to five of the best, and post them here in my new “my own little world” series. Hope you enjoy it.

What is the best way to find the name of animal without asking the mighty Russell? I have so many pics of the zoo that I’d like to post, I just have no idea what the animal is!! I should’ve taken a picture of the signs but I didn’t that until my last hour or so!

I’ve always taken pictures of the signs since 1995 when I bought my first digital camera. Even now, when I know 90% of the wildlife, I take pictures of the signs just because it makes identification easier when I get home. For those I don’t know, I will sometimes spend minutes, even hours, scrolling through my nature library to find the animal (or plant).
If you have something you want to identify, send me some small jgps — 500 pixels long side should do it — and I can probably identify them for you. Otherwise you’re left to go to a library somewhere and make use of their nature books.
