To bring himself back into the scheme of history
They’re not the tiny samaras of early spring we knew. Mature but still clinging earlier this week to the spent female flowers of our Silver Maple — whose courtship we documented in Not just another pretty face and He may
Friday Creature
This is something we saw quite often while driving out in the countryside around İzmir. Cows, sheep and goats are frequently grazed right on the roadside, with cars and trucks whizzing by. These sheep were being tended by an older…

The Bees Knees
A little bit of late sun yesterday afternoon. (These are full size crops of the original photos; you can see the details better by clicking the “larger image” link at the bottle of each. I really need one of those 180mm macro lenses, you know?)(large…

Finally Friday
Yesterday, Cece camped outside my front door, made no move to come in just let me take pics. He likes the shade by the flowers too, saw him there when I went out to get the mail few hours ago but he left shortly thereafter.
Meowza didn’t come out…

Feline Not-quite-Friday: Her darker side
A couple of days ago, I sneaked up on Lyra lazing on the cat tree in the late afternoon sun. When she sat up, I snapped a couple of shots before she began complaining about the sad dearth of petting in the area. This one was a touch overexposed on the…
