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

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.

I’ve mentioned before that I really like yumberries, which are a blast from my childhood. It seems that many other delectable fruits that I encountered on my visit to China come in shades of red too; check them out in their perfectly beautiful glory!
Strawberries so neatly lined up! Don’t forget the watermelon too.
When I first saw these, I thought they were fake plastic ones!
Mangosteens grow such perfect petals that they seem fake too.

There certainly are some strange creatures here… (this was at the National Aquarium in DC, not to be confused with the larger one in Baltimore).

Even animals can be addicted to bad behaviors. Case in point: Molly loves to lick tape and Missy enjoys chewing plastic.

I come across a fair share of dogs waiting in cars for their owners (sometimes with them too). Other than the pair of dogs I saw hanging out together in the front seats of a car, here are some others I’ve noted:
This one was waiting for its owner to get lunch at Panera Bread. I was pretty startled when it barked at me fiercely!
This one was waiting with its owner for someone to come out of the Hertz rental return. I was shocked to see such a large dog staring at me.
This one was waiting for its owner to get packages from the rental office. It was so calm and still.

Today’s Panda’s birthday! We spent a quiet day running errands and buying groceries, then enjoyed a nice meal out before retiring for the night to work on our own stuff. Since I don’t have any footage of today, let’s review what we did on my birthday recently. 😛
