Zach here. It has been a very long time since I made a post here on FHF. I was able to travel a bit towards the end of 2017, with a road trip through the Southern United States and an impromptu trip to Melbourne, VIC, Australia for my 30th birthday (man, I feel old). I'll lay off the heavy commentary on the photos, as I am a tad busy today at work, but I would like to thank all my friends, new and old, in the South and in Australia who showed me a good time! Thank you so much to my friends at home for always being down to go out and naturalizing.
Working as a naturalist for the last two years, I developed a love for all things nature, not just herps, so please excuse the fungi and insects!
Cheers to a good 2018
