Ed came by our house this morning with a little, five-inch-long snake that looked like the pictures on the WEB of baby rattlesnakes. The little critter had gone for a swim in his pool and couldn't get out. I went over to the zoo to verify that the little demon was indeed a rattlesnake, and I learned that the babies are especially venomous. While at the zoo, I took some photographs of other beautiful but dangerous demons.

Early this morning as I was driving up Fifth Avenue, the dramatic clouds behind a familiar angel brought me to an abrupt stop. I got the pictures I needed for this Angels and Demons BLOG. Take a look, Dan Brown. O.K., O.K., I admit to the little bit of photoshopping to cut the angel loose to fly.
