If a plane saw its own shadow, would it get scared like a groundhog? 😛 I don’t usually catch the shadow of the plane I’m in, but this time the angle was just right.
When a plane sees its shadow
The slightly creepy black bird
Neither of these videos do justice to what it was like to see this bird in person – the first is its piercing chirp (not quite as intimidating as it was) and the second is it bouncing around on cattails (hardly any bouncing appears to be happening). Nonetheless, they give you an idea of my encounter with the creature that is usually perched atop the pavilion in the background, staring down at you.
Little puffer blowfish
These guys are so cute and nice-looking when they aren’t all puffed up.
Midair hair
I was working at the computer one afternoon when some movement caught my eye. So random!
Quack chirp
Ah they’re so cute! When I was a kid, you could get ducklings and chicks to raise but then they banned those sales. Looks like you can still find them though.
Where did the days go?
Suddenly I find it is already nearly a week since I last posted. I’ve been pretty preoccupied with thoughts of business ventures and taking care of the mounting list of tasks. Plus, Missy has been following me all around the house, purring and meowing and otherwise grabbing my attention whenever she can. So, I leave you with a clip of a jetstream left behind by some plane… a glimpse at what I do when I travel! Something like this could entertain me for minutes, since there’s not much else to see on the plane.
Hobbling duck
Philosopher’s in town so we went into D.C. today to check out the sights. We came across this duck at the Constitution Gardens Pond… little did I know it was a wounded fellow! I quickly left him alone after that.
Bunny stalking
It’s hard to see, but those blotches are bunny rabbits hiding in the darkness. For awhile, every night they’d come out and nibble on the grass by the neighborhood pool, so one night I decided to do a little paparazzing.
Lego rollercoaster
Even Lego people get to have their fun on the Stratosphere!
