Browsing through my archives, I found this image of how the horse pasture next to our backyard used to be a few years ago. I miss Tawny. Now a big house is being built there.

At the fabulous Flamingo Gardens in Florida there were many peacocks. I have never seen one doing its display before.

The other day in Mukilteo, WA, near the ferry dock, a very scenic group of seagulls. Isn’t it cute the way the ones on the ground are watching her, all ready?

Going to Auburn, WA the other day, saw this bucolic farm scene of a man riding his red tractor as the mist collected, and his dog keeping him company.

Some friends have a big collection of small models, called minis, used in gaming. Here is some of the collection, and below that you can see the bird figure in the lower left in close up.

We have four pretty goldfish with fancy fins and pearly scales, and they were getting too big for their ten-gallon tank, so we moved them to a 30-gallon aquarium. Here’s a photo of them in the smaller tank, and below that are two videos of them, first in the smaller tank and then right after their move to a larger home.

Here are two videos of the before and after. Note how they do not swim into the new, larger area just yet after the move.

I took this photo because of the pretty center that looks a bit like a baby bird beak, and only realized when I reviewed the photo in my computer that there was a baby slug taking a drink!
