(…if you’re wondering why Baby’s fur is all funky on the side, it’s because he gets all matted and I recently cut all the knots out…)

There are two robins that frequent our new backyard in the mid-late afternoon. They apparently love the side of the lawn that is heavily shaded by trees, and seem to find a lot of worms every day. I think it’s adorable how they tilt their heads to the side to “listen” for worms, than dive in with their beak. I don’t have the telephoto lens to take great bird photos, but when I looked at the RAW file at 100%, I was happy to see I’d caught one of the robins actually catching a worm.

Btw, I feel like the robins up here are smaller than the ones further south - just like the squirrels. Seems odd.

mycathatesyou.com is one of the “cat photo” sites I enjoy. They claim to post pictures of “grumpy faced” cats, but it has a mix of expressions/scenes. They don’t update very frequently, so I only check up on the site once every 2-3 months - there’s almost always something there that makes me chuckle. The last time I visited, the photo to hit my funny bone is the one below:

The contrast of the black cat to the red/white Santa sweater/hoodie makes it “pop” and the glowing green eyes and expression are priceless.

When I went to use the PC this morning, there was a giant cranefly sprawled out on my mousepad. I stared at it for a moment, then poked it to see if it was alive or dead. In the word’s of McCoy - “He’s dead, Jim!”
If I was a normal person, I’d do something like sweep the critter into the wastebasket. But I’m not a normal person, so I ended up taking some pictures of it. In the process I used a pencil to flip and rearrange it, and next thing you know, I had this captioned picture.

Maybe I need professional help.

I don’t have much time motivation for taking new pictures during this period of transition, but there’s always time for a stupidly captioned kitty picture …
