Portraits of a Mutant
This salamander came to visit my lab this week along with about 700 of her closest friends. Most other labs would have sacrificed her to study her mutation but we are letting her go to live out her life just like any other salamander. She is probably the most photographed salamander the school has ever had.

Startling at first, but animals have the very blessed trait of not comparing themselves to anything else. He probably gets around just fine, and undoubtable accepts himself as he is. A salamander who needs to protect himself, as any other salamander would,a salmander who looks for food and a mate to procreate, and I believe, a salamander who is ever present-. He is not wallowing in past inadequacies, for he knows not that concept. He just wakes up each day and continues to "Be" a salamander. To "Be" a collection of cells, alive and resonating with everything around him. We can learn a lot from the mutant salamanders of the world. Thanks for Posting those pictures of the wonderfully diversity of which we are all a part. Mutant or Not.
I just wanted to let you know that I as inspired by your photos of the mutant salamanders. Inspired enough to enter a ost of my own about them. I used one of your photos to illustrate my entry, and I did give credit to your blog for the picture. I hope that this is ok with you. If not please let me know and I will remove it. I thank you any way for the inspiration.
