(self portrait with alligator)This was my third visit to the Academy of Sciences, this time with the whole Nattress family. The taxidermied animals in the dioramas are odd, a little disconcerting to the children accustomed to seeing things alive. But they are beautiful, lovingly-rendered taxidermy, and they do hold still. My charter membership runs out at the end of this month if I don't choose to renew it, so I'm glad we've gotten to go several times so far.
