By popular demand - and I mean some of you literally demanded these - photos of Little Cat, the tiniest kitten evs:


^ so small you have to use a macro lens to get her face in focus ; )


^ I call this one "contemplation in profile"

^hey! a squirrel!


Ovaries, clench!

That ought to hold you for a bit. I may not be posting regularly over the next little while since I've just bought Super Mario Wii I've run out of ideas for new Mad Blogs I am very busy and important.

Dear Mr. Leopard...

Dear Mr. Leopard,

Would you mind awfully if I made you into a coat? It's just that your fur is ridiculously beautiful. Even up close it looks almost hand-painted. Are you really just a mountain lion with a talented hairdresser?

If you don't want to be made into a coat, I guess I could settle for keeping you as a pet, but you'd have to consent to wearing a sparkly collar and being patted a lot.

Let me know.

Love,
Soda & Candy

Fun Size Macro

^ a brown and orange butterfly that was flitting around the garden, spreading his wings out and sipping water drops from the leaves.

More Macro Goodness!

I cannot take credit for these ones! They are all the work of The Husband, who overcame an intense dislike of spiders to get close to this guy.

^ a golden silk orbweaver. I like her fuzzy legwarmers, and her skull-like head. and the fact that her bite is not poisonous to humans. I do wish she'd eat more mosquitoes though.


^ a green anole lizard sunning himself on a tree branch. they are slightly bigger than the skinks I'm used to from home. I think they're dear little things. a common sight in our backyard on sunny days - luckily the dogs haven't caught any yet. I wish they'd catch more mosquitoes too.

I heart macro photography

^ where the deck meets the first step


^ an ocean wave in wood



^ ginger-like plants that ruthlessly colonize our garden every summer


^ the lovely red flowers that bloom on the summer colonists


^ hummingbirds visit these trumpet-shaped flowers to my delight
