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.
Autumn Joy
Can you guess what fall-blooming favorite of the nursery trade this is? Hint: Above image, captured using our camera’s macro setting, is 14 times actual size.I thought the whole plant kinda turned pink. I didn’t realize it was made up
Doin’ the Hokey Pokey
She puts her left paw in, she puts her left paw out…. [Click for larger.] Adding to the degree of difficulty, she can also do it with her back paws. While asleep. [Click for larger.] The Hokey Pokey: now a national craze! Friday! Ark! Carnival! Cats!…

Friday Pet Blogging: Where No Pug Has Gone Before
Someone has figured out how to climb up the back of the sofa and onto the divider between the living room and the kitchen. I suspect he’s stalking the cats’ food bowl on the breakfast bar which is pushed up against the wall right there. …
Friday Creature
This is a crested wood partridge, quite the showoff of a bird. The female was a bit camera shy, though, so I wasn’t able to get a really good shot of her, but here she is, trying to hide behind…
Thanks again!
Will You Play Legos With Me?
I’m sitting on the plans I drew up for a way cool construction
Friday Calf Blogging
Are you my mommy? Isn’t he a doll? I wish I could keep him. He reminds me of my little friend Socks, who went away one sad November weekend. If you want to support farm animals like this little guy,
A Day at the Santa Barbara Zoo
I am not a big fan of Zoos. I understand like a lot of things they may be a necessary evil in that they help protect endangered species, and are also act as hospitals for wounded wild animals, but most…

Kitty Hates The New Camera
We got a new digital camera and decided to try it out on the cat. And he seriously despises it. See?
Needless to say, The Boy gave kitty some distance after taking this shot. Now, go visit The Friday Ark.
P.S. We got a Nikon Coolpix S200 in a pre…
FUZZY FRIDAY
When I wake up on Fridays, I’m feelin’ my oats,
‘Cause I know where to find all the snakes and the stoats
And the cats and the dogs, and invertebrates too:

I have a post for Invertebrates, Flashlight Photography, and another, just posted, for the category, Birds; a video of a disappointed seagull, in Protest in Semiahmoo.
Friday Creature
Sorry for the late Friday Creature, I’ve been under the weather this week with some kind of bizzare outer ear infection and a mysterious cough. Something is going around. I feel better this morning though after a horendously lazy…
Bad Kitty Cats
Spent some time cleaning up cat pee on the appliances last night. Usually, I have just to replace the disposable cover and clean up the counter. This time I had to clean up the nearby canister, the window sill, and what was on the window sill too. Late…
