It’s hubby’s birthday today!
Happy Mother’s Day, everyone!
What do y’all think? Photoshopped?
Destin with Smarter Every Day uses high-speed video to explain the physics behind how cats always land on their feet.
This pup has been trained by his Russian owner to bring the cat inside.
Got pictures of some daffodils just beginning to bloom:
My favorite.
Gracie loves eating grass:
Had a snowstorm Thursday night, all day Friday, all Friday night, and into half of Saturday. Some snow-laden pines:
An odd, prickly snow hedgehog:
It was SO nice to have it snow all day Friday, so we could enjoy watching it. Too often, it all happens overnight. First we went out walking in it, then I made onion marmalade, then we played Scrabble, then I took a hot bath. In other words, a perfect day. This was what Friday was like all day:
Yesterday afternoon, I walked into the bedroom and saw a large bobcat lounging on our south property. We’ve been seeing a bobcat kitten around here lately, but this guy was BIG. At first, all we could get were shots of him from behind. These were all taken at full (32X) zoom, making it very hard to stay on subject. Still, my new little camera did a great job!
Check out the white ear patches and black tufts
More ears
Finally, a profile
After a while of him not moving, I got set up on the windowsill while Rich prepared to rap on the window to get his attention. We expected to get maybe one shot before he bolted. On the contrary, not only did he not bolt, but it was very hard to get his attention! Rich even had to open the window and make clicking noises like we use to call our housecats.
“Whaaaaat?”
Just look at those eyes.
“Please, people, I’m trying to take a nap.”
Eventually he got up and trotted off into the woods. Because the camera was on full zoom, it was a miracle to get anything.
You can see his paw pads!
The instant he left, a deer came strolling into the same area. Maybe Bob got up to avoid contact? To watch and stalk? Even though he was a big one, bobcats don’t make a living killing deer. The deer wandered down to the exact spot where the bobcat had just been lounging, and sniffed intently.
Must not taste very good.
On the lookout now, but there were no encounters.
“We doan need no stinkin’ GOALPOSTS.”
