Aquarium

I love going to the aquarium. Unfortunately, my favorite sea critter, the walrus, was not available. Here are some of the other things we got to see.
Baleen from a whale,


a seahorse,


hermit crab,


starfish,


and of course, the shark!

Well if you're not going to drink that...

I will.

Happy New Year

I always like to get a fresh start on the new year, which means getting rid of old stuff we don't need and cleaning up around the house. Of course this includes getting rid of the Christmas tree. My daughter had fun making pictures with all the needles left behind. This is her pine needle man celebrating the new year in pine confetti.

The Balloon

I finally got to see a hot air balloon up close. In fact, I was inside of the balloon itself, which is where this photo was taken. The balloon is so large I could not get the entire thing in front of the lens, but I love this photo for its colors. Unfortunately, the wind was too much for a ride in the balloon, perhaps next time.

Jack This Pumpkin!

One of my favorite fall activities is carving a pumpkin. This year I think I'll try a digital Jack-o-lantern. Download the above image and create one of your own, then leave a comment with a link back to your page to share your Jack. Happy "carving"!


Here's mine!

Pony Ride Anyone?

Pines

Pine trees come in many varieties. While I walking through a local garden I discovered a couple of interesting ones. I particularly liked this Long Leaf Pine.



It looks like a regular pine, but the needles are huge! I also love the color on this Japanese Pine Tree.

My Tiger - Camera Critters 20

Tiger stands guard outside our home. When my husband or I come home late at night he meows menacingly as if to ask, "Where have you been?" He will escort us to the house and then when you are safely inside he returns to the darkness where he stands guard once again. Any mouse or bat who dares enter our yard is killed and left by our front door. In return, all he asks for is a good rubbing behind the ears and some fish.
