Spring Camera, Hastings Reserve
May 24, 2010 to June 24 2010 (more below)
We selected about 43 images and put them into a movie, and you can pause the movie, or go one frame at a time. The light on the scene changes dramatically. You will see the scene never changes, but the shadows, animals present, etc. change constantly. Enjoy trying to find the animal! --19 species in 30 days.
