Oh DEER!!!!

















Oh my deer! I had a carrot and tried to feed the deer. It wasn't scared or anything. Until the dog came out!

slugs in love



Are they cuddling some baby eggs? Later in the day we looked at the spot again and they both were gone.

The Snake!!!!! (Skin)



Ahh! It's a snake!!!! It's gonna eat me!!! Oh wait! It's only a snake skin. Whew. Not an anaconda.

I found it on the side of the road in the grass. It had it's mouth open. You could see it's jaw. It was cool, weird, crazy and exciting. I liked discovering it.

I thought it was so cool that Zoom noticed this in the grass. It blended in so well that I walked right by. When he told me what he thought it was, at first I thought it was just a piece of old rag or canvas. But upon closer inspection, you really COULD see the mouth opened wide. The whole skin was completely intact. I'd never seen that before. I think maybe it was a baby gopher snake...but I don't know for sure. This was right in our neighborhood in the grass next to the sidewalk....

AHHH!!! It's got me!!!

Here's the Sticky Monkey Plant in bloom.

















These are the flowers of the Sticky Monkey Plant.
Its leaves and flowers are sticky and grabbing onto me. It's fun. I think they're permanent...but I hope not. :)

Mr. Sparrow


This bird, I think, is a Seaside Sparrow. What do you think? Please post a comment with your answer.
Picture was taken at the Pacific Coast south of San Francisco.

wee web on the range

This picture is like our home, but how could our home be flat like that because we can't climb. (Zoom)

This pretty web sparkled with the raindrops. Or mist drops. It was just so perfect. I'm glad we went walking even though it was misting out. (Mom)
