Finally got around to uploading some vacation sunset pics from August. The “nuthersunset” series are from our favorite place to stay – Crystal Pier (I’d really like to update their website).
Baby ducks and red eared pond sliders

and something I’ve never encountered before, a red-eared pond slider. This creature was walking arcross our patio and at first I thought our desert tortoise had escaped. Battle scarred and big, this guy eventually plopped itself into the lake and swam off. Then we noticed bloody claw prints on the flagstone all along the gate to our tortoise. You can see where the blood is from in the pic of his underneaths, check those toes). Wonder if turtle and tortoise were telepathically hooking up for a prison break…

And finally got some pics of my sisters cat Hooligan, he’s hyper to the point of impossible to photograph but I managed some noisy low light snaps. Nancy will be happy.

Old stuff from the vaults
Found some oldies while cleaning house today…
And this is relatively new. If you haven’t figured it out yet, I specialize in spheres.
