Hehe, she’s so cute! This was a really fun perspective – you can see her little paws in all their glory. 🙂

Fire swirls
This was a really cool “torch” in Hawaii! I love how the flame swirled and twists.
(I can’t seem to make it right-side up so you’ll just have to play it sideways!)
Panda watching
Panda and I visited the National Zoo not long ago and got a chance to see the pandas! They were stuck indoors for the time being (maybe because it was brisk outside) so it was easy to watch them.
Look at how dexterous those paws are!

This one was eating ever so vigorously behind all that bamboo.

“Let me ooout!” What a sassy one. 😉

So this researcher gets to sit and watch pandas all day. Maybe I should apply for that job.

I’ve never seen a caterpillar move quite so fast before!

Grounded jellies
These jellyfish spend their lives in a rather pointless dance…

Weird Custom
At the Custom Hotel, there’s this strange light… was it meant to be a nightlight??

Wall flop
Sometimes, there’s nowhere else to go but down.

Snow slush
It started with a few flakes that made me all excited, but quickly went away. Then at night some more snow came and melted into trickling drips of rain. Finally, the next day it was cool enough for the snow to fall and stick!

An education on auks
What are auks? Well, that’s exactly why you’re getting a mini lesson on them! You’re probably most familiar with puffins, which are part of the auk family. These birds may remind you of penguins with their coloring and living situation, but what distinguishes them from penguins is that they can fly (whereas penguins cannot, if you didn’t know). Check out some videos of their behavior, including eagerness at feeding time and pretty fun wing-flapping and foot-kicking.
