I really need to get out of the house and go shooting...

The Nightmare of All Nightmares...
Have you ever had a dream where you're living somewhere or visiting someplace with the most beautiful terrain, and diversity of animals and plantlife? You take a billion photos... then wake up and are hit with the realization that all those photos you took are nonexistant?
I had one of those dreams last night... and I had this most gorgeous sunset photo I wanted to share with all of you guys... it was magnificent.
Unfortunately, it's stuck in my head, and I've yet to find a connector cable that's compatible.

Grackles!
OK, normally I'm none too fond of grackles... and after the mockingbird incident, I will admit I'm a bit skittish around birds in general.
If mockingbirds are scary, grackles are moreso. They're HUGE, and black, with ginormous beady eyes! And they run around staring at you with their beaks wide open like they're trying to estimate whether they can get you in one bite.
But this was cute. I love babies of every species (with the exception of bugs... naturally I don't go all starry eyed over larvae). These BIG ol' baby grackles, almost the size of their parents, running around and begging to be fed, LOL!
What's funny was, they were fine pecking their own food up off the ground, but as soon as one of the adults picked up a piece of catfood (and yes, that is catfood...), the squawking and wing-flapping would start up, lol!

Apple Tree
A new photography project!
This is Tadge (thanks to Josh for the name, lol!), he will be keeping Steve and Pokeye company on my page.
This seed was inadvertently dropped into a water glass approximately two weeks ago, and much to our surprise... it germinated! It has since been transferred to a Gatorade cap, and lives on our dining room table.
I didn't think it would make it without soil!

Pokeye Repotted!
Repotted Pokeye today... now he has a bit more room! : )
He's also finally putting out spikes. Check out my main page, the spike macro is currently at the top. : )

Pokeye-Doing Much Better Now
Pokeye is making a brilliant comeback! There is now a secondary sprout coming out the side of the main cacti head that has been growing in for the past week to ten days... I'm interested to see how it will look when all is said and done!
I have successfully abstained from watering it since the sprout started coming in. : )

Wasps
My "pet" wasp nest!
Someone sprayed it, and the original two wasps died. :(
But I came out the next day and there was a new wasp. Two days later there was a second...
And yesterday there were THREE! :D
