What a large, craggly crab! It looks like a neon toy.
Feisty spider
It’s probably not a real albino spider, but it sure could be. It was threatening me with its body lifted high, so I blew on it and was surprised by how quickly it balled up.
Low landing
Last time I was leaving Dulles Airport, Panda and I saw a plane coming in really low for a landing. It seemed like it might brush the trees on the way down!
Swim styles
I find it interesting how differently each creature swims. You’ve got the glider, the floater, and the jerky kicker!
Ostrich mama
I am amazed that she can bend her neck all the way down for a scratch and that her knees bend the other way. Sitting like that doesn’t look comfortable. Is she even keeping the eggs warm?
Water game at Legoland
Squirt the frog with the water gun!
Sea monkey munchkins
Check out my recently-hatched baby sea monkeys! They have since tripled in size and increased in entertainment value. 🙂
Silly superstitions
It didn’t even occur to me it was Friday the 13th until a guy at work said it today. The number thirteen has actually been my favorite number since fifth grade, when we had numbered cubbyholes and I was #13. My second favorite number is 19 because that was the box that the guy I liked had! Haha, funny how some things really last in your life.
Well, since it was a day of superstition for much of this country, I thought I’d share a video of one of my cats. When I was choosing them this summer, I specifically went for the dark ones because they don’t seem to get adopted as much. I now have a gray and a black cat, both with some white accents. I don’t know why cats get a bad rap, especially black ones, but at least they are lucky and respected in some cultures. In this video, Missy (the gray one) was really enjoying the tag on my new Victoria’s Secret shirt. She’s a curious and playful one!
Late night detour
It was late at night and I thought I’d be free and clear to drive down the 405, but of course they were doing construction and we got routed off the freeway onto Sepulveda. I was pretty tired and the little caravan of cars all following the detour was amusing to me at that point.
