Scare crow??

I was driving down a dirt road in the middle of nowhere today, and in front of a house (which looked unlived in) was a dead crow up in a tree. Not only was it dead, but it was TIED TO THE TREE. Talk about creepy. Like horror movie creepy. I got a close-up of the dead bird. I was going to get a distance shot to show the whole scene, but then this car pulled up and wouldn't drive past my car, so I felt like I had to get out of there right away!

Koala!

My baby's growing up!

Beagly is a mutant.

Normal dogs have five toenails on the front feet and four toenails on the back feet. Then there's Beagly:

See that toenail on the upper left?
That's not supposed to be there.

And check out the weirdness on the bottom of the foot, too.


He is a cutie though.

More kitten cuteness!

(Beagly is my mom's beagle.)

Mucking about in Clough's Bay

My mom and I went on a rather lengthy horseback ride on Sunday, through a rather swampy area just west of her land known as Clough's Bay. Let me show you some maps of where we went before I get into the pictures. Our route is marked in pink:

It was a very sunny day. I remembered to take photos of my shadow,
but neglected to apply sunscreen...


We took the dogs Blix and Brin with us, and they had a ball.
(A good 40% of the "roads" we followed were underwater.)




We rode into some areas that were burnt during the fires of 2007.
(and yes, that's a "road" there!)


There's a lot of desolate land out here...


And we rode through it!




Some places really looked more like canals than roads...


Dr. Seuss Trees!!!


(At one point, mom decided to give her rear a break...)


This is what comes of not wearing sunscreen!

Unbearable kitten cuteness in my bathroom!

I hardly need it, but it needs surgery.

This is a terrible photo, as it was taken at night, without the flash, through my bedroom window. I'm fairly certain that this is my kitten Cally's sister, as it's the same age. She's a feral who eats on my porch every evening, although I haven't yet been able to trap her. Her left eye is dead and is spreading infection down her face. She desperately needs surgery, but she just won't get into the trap....

I have a mamma cat and 5 kittens in my bathroom!

(Because what I needed was more cats.)

A typical workday...

Koala is doing well!

(but I still don't know what kind of dog she will be!)

Just like old times in the 'hood

It's hard to tell from this photo, but there are five police cars there. That's not including the two others that pulled up after I took this shot. I took this through my window the other night. I saw lights flashing and looked out my window just in time to see a police officer running towards the house with his gun drawn, looking thoroughly amateurish, as though he'd never done anything of the sort before. No idea what this house was raided for... if I see anything in the paper, I'll let you know.
