Life will find a way …

A wonderful quote from Dr. Ian Malcolm … the professor of chaos in the movie Jurassic Park. If you have not seen that movie yet, please feel free to crawl back under your rock :-).

I noticed this little fella basking in the late afternoon sunlight and I just had to grab an image of it. The cam was set at 1600 ISO as I was shooting indoors earlier in the afternoon. No big deal though, as the D7000 is as clean at 1600 ISO as older dSLRs at 400 …

D7000, 18-200VR, f/7.1, 1/1600s, 1600 ISO

So how did it get there? Well, a bird shat on the roof and the rain washed the scat with embedded seeds into the drain pipe, which was clogged by the damage inflicted upon it by my eldest some time ago. The plant grew out through a gap in a seam ….

In other words, a fecal matter that emanates from a crack …
