She can do no wrong...

A paw in my eye...
Dirty swipe on a freshly changed shirt...
Chewed up laces...
Howling...



Licks upon my face...
Belly rubs...
Fetch...
Howling...

I strolled across a crime scene...

I strolled across a crime scene
Just the other day
Sunlight streaming through the trees
Feathers here and there
Not a body to be seen
Nary not a piece
This killer was not just efficient
This killer had a feast

What the?...

I see these often during the summers on Long Island.


But are they flying ants? Or flies that LOOK like ants?


I have a few more critters for the next few days.
Check back daily! :)

Revenge of the revenge of the fly...

Although they make me think of filth...


...I can't help but love everything about these compound-eyed, sticky-footed, regurgitating, long haired, maggot creating insects.

Creepin...

Trees have such vast ecosystems. Look at one closely and see all that they have to offer.

Wednesday, June 17, 2009

Tree beetle...

...or a baby roach in the wild? Really not sure what this is. Looks too "squat" to be a roach... and the fact that it was out in broad daylight doesn't go with the whole skittering in the sewers and staying in the dark. Unless it was rabid! :O Can insects be rabid? Does he have a little foamy mouth? Are you tired of my rambling?

Lately I've been obsessed...

I've been thinking of getting a kittehhhh... Something that will stay small. Something that needs a home. Something the dogs won't tear apart like a mewing, purring chew toy. It's still just a thought.

Wha-chew-lookinat...



Devon's son and Ella's brother... say hello to Kaiden.

Frosty is thinning in this heat...

I wish I could shed a few pounds as easily...

Alone... and far from home...

While in Connecticut, I spied a flash of green and blue fly by and I knew it wasn't an ordinary bird that just caught my eye.


Although inquisitive, it wouldn't let me get close enough to... eh-hem... help him onto my finger.


And even though this picture was blurry, there is something about it that I just adore.

WIIF? #121

Tatman guessed last weeks creepy crawly.

Here is What Is It Friday? #121



JC was able to keep it together... with a small fastener in the corner.

Red-winged blackbird...

Black as starless night
Flight so fast an orange flash
Beauty in the sky

S-N-A-R-R-R-R-R-L...



Ella was getting groomed and her brother wanted to play. She wasn't having any of that! She doesn't actually "snarl"...
but she does raise a lip.

Robin's nest...

I spied a robin's nest above
Not six feet from the ground
A bunch of eyes looked down on me
While I milled around


The papa bird had spotted me
and looked on from afar
His beak packed with a tasty meal
Not taken from a jar


The babies chirped for sustenance
A morsel from their father
So, slowly I just backed away
And no more was a bother

Fly-bee-thing...

It hovered in place.


It darted about.


It buzzed LOUDLY!


Then a female appeared with what looked like honey on her back...


And he must have liked it... because he mated in an instant.

Bean update...

The garden is growing... and I couldn't pass up showing these beautiful string bean blooms. Click for desktop images.

Favorite past-time...

"Throw it! I SAID THROW IT!!!"


"BAAAALL!!!"


"OMG! OMG! OMG! BAAAAALL!"


"NOM-NOM THE BALL!"


"BALL IS NEVER ENDING FUUUUUN!"


The humans have to know when to stop with ball, or even stick, because doG will play and play and play the day away.

WIIF? #120

Tatman climbed to new heights last week.

Here is What Is It Friday? #120



Tatman continues is metamorphosis and continues his reign with this weeks win. I love how this fellow's shadow is more defined than he actually is.
