It’s almost Mother’s Day, so here’s a baby turtle who loves his (or her?) mommy and wouldn’t stop following her around everywhere.

Meet Sasha

In D.C. on Sunday, Panda and I came across this adorable squirrel! She was hardly scared of people and after feeding her I decided to name her Sasha.

We spotted her so close to the sidewalk, munching away at something yummy.

She ignored us for a long time as she scavenged, but then the crinkling of the bag caught her attention.

She stared right at us when we pulled out a gummy bear from the bag.

She hopped up on the ledge and began to sneak over.

She came right up to the edge to see this wonderful piece of food.

She took the gummy bear straight from my fingers and began nibbling at it furiously.

I offered her some more tempting candy as she finished gobbling up the first.

She was really eager for these! What a hungry squirrel.

She put her paws on me to grab the red one, which fell. When she didn't notice where it landed, she went for the yellow one instead.

Her paws were so soft and slightly scratchy where the nails were. I want a pet squirrel!

I guess everyone has to do these now (leaving LAX at least).

Of course everything is branded.

Whoa, a nice little outdoor area! And it’s NOT for smoking.

Mmm, See’s! It’s small but it has all you need. At a steep price, mind you!

Contrail: bicycle advocacy in fun colors

Check out this cool concept for bikes: Contrail.  Basically you attach their device and ride around, leaving a colorful trail of (non-toxic) chalk.  It makes biking more interesting and fun while also allowing the trail to act as a guide so people don’t get lost if you’re in a large group of different skill levels.  Pretty cool!

A demo of the trial version of the contrail device was shown at the Opportunity Green Conference in 2010.

As you bike, you leave an imprint on the road. It's non-toxic and washes away, but doesn't wipe away so easily.

orange, grapefruit, and over-sized orange

That’s a grapefruit in the back, a normal orange on the right, and some sort of monster orange on the left.

It doesn’t look so bad on its own but believe me it was massive!

Blossoming, or blooming, tea is quite the art form! Check out this video of how they work. 🙂

Blossoming tea! It comes in a ball and then unfurls in the water to create this beautiful shape and and equally beautiful taste. All handmade!

Each flavor has a design using string to keep the shape. Cool, huh?
