Cuban Tree Frog, Florida

Photograph by James Snyder

This Month in Photo of the Day: Animals

This is a Cuban tree frog on a tree in my backyard in southern Florida. How and why he ate this light is a mystery. It should be noted that at the time I was taking this photo, I thought this frog was dead, having cooked himself from the inside. I’m happy to say I was wrong. After a few shots he adjusted his position. So after I was finished shooting him, I pulled the light out of his mouth and he was fine. Actually, I might be crazy but I don’t think he was very happy when I took his light away.

古巴树蛙，佛罗里达

这是佛罗里达南部我家后院里一棵树上的一只古巴树蛙。它如何以及为什么吞下这个灯泡都不得而知。我想我拍摄这张照片的时候必然会惊动它，所以我猜这只树蛙已经死了，被来自内部的高温煮熟了。我很高兴我猜错了。在我拍了几张照片之后，它调整了一下姿势。所以在我结束拍摄之后，我把灯泡从它嘴里拉了出来，它安然无恙。也许我是疯了，但事实上我觉得我把灯泡取出时它显得并不乐意。

一只胖乎乎的狐獴一直看守着它的巢穴。其实它一直在睡觉。

中午外婆叫我们三家一起去城市广场的茶餐厅吃饭，临出门一个不认识的绍兴号码打到我手机上，没接。走到楼下，老妈说忘记带公交卡了，又跑上楼去拿，我在楼下等的时候那个号码又打了过来，接起来说是有我的快递，我说你赶紧过来……挂了电话我就在那儿狐疑：这两天没在网上买东西啊。想来半天，大概是上个月底我和轰轰合单的那本台译版万用手册工作术，卖家说10-15天寄到，算算是该到了，但好像我没收到淘宝的提醒邮件啊……快递到了，给我一个快递封，一摸果然是书一样的东西，但厚度好像不对，两本书明显不会这么薄。不管三七二十一，先签收了再说。趁老妈还没下来，我拆开一看，果然是那本书，而且果然只有一本。回来又得去联系卖家补，我在淘宝上买东西怎么老遇上这种七七八八的事……刚刚拿刀的时候还把手掌戳破了，衰。

在茶餐厅点菜的时候，我问服务员糖水单在哪里，服务员说我们这儿没有糖水只有饮料，我黑线……结果自己翻了半天才找到。

饭完回到家，上淘宝一看，那本书果然还是未发货状态……卖家的旺旺不在线，只能照着快递单上的手机打过去，卖家态度不错，说明天帮我查下是怎么回事。

下午用FeedDemon时发现PAC脚本失效了，翻了翻订阅源，发现就是重装系统以后的事。折腾了半天，终于找到了罪魁祸首：IE的代理服务器设置下有一个“跳过本地地址的代理服务器”的选项，默认是选中的，不选中使用代理服务器时这个选项是灰掉的，但其实这个选项对于PAC脚本也是有效的。因为我用的代理是用任意门开在本地的，于是就中奖了。

The palm-size bog turtle, smallest in the country, now survives mostly on private lands. Adapted to soggy soils, the species suffers where wetlands are filled or groundwater is diverted.

这只巴掌大的牟氏水龟是这个国家里最小的一种龟，现在大多生活在私有土地上。依赖于潮湿的土壤，这一物种正因湿地被填和地下水开采而受到威胁。
