Elk Outside Denver

We recently took a trip to Denver, and had a rare free afternoon before the show began. We drove outside the big city for a few miles, up to a small mountain town. As we rounded a bend in the road, we were treated with the appearance of a large herd of elk casually grazing right by the road!

Captain Rufus the Hunter

Last night, at our friend Bob’s birthday party, Captain Rufus the cat made an appearance with a large rodent dangling from his mouth. “Oh look,” his wife Nancy exclaimed, “Rufus has brought you a gift!” This is a family that loves their cats.

Help! It’s an Ant Invasion!

If only the ants would stay outside. Like this pair. I suppose I should be used to their yearly visit, usually in the middle of the rainy season, but it’s a bit upsetting every time.

Pythons in the Everglades!

It’s not too hard to imagine pythons slithering through the tropical Everglades in Florida, but they are certainly not meant to be there!

Tuxedo Cat Necklace

Just to keep the theme going, I thought I’d show you what my very own tuxedo cat necklace looks like! This could be a fun thing to wear if it matches your own little Felix.
I’ve always thought a black and white cat has an especially natty look—I feel the same way about penguins!

Nesting Birds lnspire Animal Jewelry

I love watching birds. Yesterday a motherly (or perhaps it was fatherly) dove tried for at least two minutes to grasp an over-sized bit of straw in its beak to take back to the nest. It seemed like a pretty light-weight load, but I suppose to a hollow-boned bird it might have been hefty.

Songbird Guest in Florida

One of the nicest things about living in Florida is the profusion of winter guests. No, I don’t mean the “snowbirds,” though I know they’re important to our economy.

The Grasshoppers are Back!

I should’ve been more prepared for the grasshopper invasion. Last year they started out as cute little yellow and red hoppers, and ended up as 5 inch gigantic green monsters.
