Note for Haloscan Users:
Over the past month or so Haloscan started (the end of July) handling of trackbacks has improved though it is still pretty broken for carnival type posts. Now, instead of rejecting every attempt to ping it accepts single pings for a while and then will start rejecting them. I will keep trying to track back to Haloscan boarders but can make no guarantees for any particular week.
Note for Typepad Users:
Typepad continues to behave similar to Haloscan for trackbacks. I been able to get trackbacks to most, if not all, Typepad based boarders. I have to do it one at a time and wait a while in between pings but Typepad does not go into semi-permanent rejection mode like Haloscan.
Feline Friday: In which Sasha looks the way I feel
Most weeks, I try to write at least a couple of posts to keep the Feline Friday photos from banging up against each other. But thanks to this week’s crazy busy work schedule and some sad family news, I’ve been too tired, stressed and preoc…

Friday Creature
I’m not sure how many shorebirds I have left, but I’ve been avoiding the gulls/terns because it can be such a struggle to ID them. In fact, I was flipping through my Sibley Guide this morning and happened upon this…
For Sasha and Dexter, the camera is Framing The Familar, yet the well acquainted remains unseen and unknown.
Is this spot taken?

The leaves aren't appealing
We've got a bunch of leaves on the grass and I mentioned to Brian I was thinking about raking them up in a pile and seeing what the cats would do. Imagine what a surprise I got when I went outside to find he'd raked them up for me. I grabb…

Are Shih Tzus Supposed to Herd?

she herds me. She herds me to the stove for the tea kettle and the back door for the Siberian. She’s only 9 inches tall at the shoulder and she pushes me along at mid-ca…
Those memorial pictures ovewhelm me – I forgot I has something a bit more lighthearted, a photo of Maple Kitty repeated 4 times as the Rotating Maple Mandala.
My raptor problem, part 37
A neighbour sent me this photo taken in Thomasburg a week ago of what he has tentatively identified as a female Northern Harrier. The white terminal band on the tail in particular makes me think that it is probably a first-year Cooper’s Hawk….but I h…
