Vanishing Acts Calendar 2008 Details
From the Back Cover Look once, look twice. And discover something hiding right before your eyes. Like a regal Willow Ptarmigan, seamlessly blending into a snowy underbrush. The Leaf Insect, dead-ringer for a mottled leaf. Can you spot the Bald Eagle, perched majestically in a wintry forest? Or a Harbor Seal sunning on a moss-covered rock, Kenya's Green Bush Snake coiled around a tuft of green reeds, and a Red Fox peering out from vibrant autumn foliage?VANISHING ACTS is a visually stunning calendar by celebrated nature photographer Art Wolfe, whose portraits are "a superb evocation of some of the most breathtaking spectacles in the world" (Sir David Attenborough). Here he presents a dozen amazingly detailed photographs of animals exhibiting the essential survival adaptation of camouflage. Each is guaranteed to awe and entertain the whole family.

I love this calendar, I had lasts year also and am disappointed that they don't have one for 2009, at least I haven't seen one yet. I work with teens and sometimes they're not real big on conversation, so I ask them to find the animal in the picture, it's not personal, it's opened a lot of therapy sessions!! After we build trust/rapport the teens get really excited every month about coming in and seeing if they can spot the animal in the picture. Also, there's a little description at the bottom that explains about whatever is in the picture and where it can be found!! Goes along with my mantra that you're never too old to learn!!! Hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas and that your New Year is filled with many blessings!!! Mary
