I have such a backlog. Well, by the time I get to it half of it will be out of date. That’s a comfort!

I’ve had some busy weeks, so I haven’t been online as much, and that means fewer links to post, and somehow I missed out on the “just for fun” category. Which is too bad, as so many of the stories linked are so thoroughly depressing.

But never fear! One of the essays referenced this video. And yeah, it made me feel better.

Top image, because I can’t get the caption to show:

This is peak British Columbia: in an almost clear sky, the one tiny bit of cloud obscures the sun as it approaches maximum occlusion. (Photo of a pinhole projection.)

Today we met Charlie. Even at only 12 weeks old it is obvious that he is a Very Good Boy.

And now for the world pool links…

“I am being FOOLED WITH.”

And back to tulips

Of course.

Yesterday I spent an hour and a half in a friend’s yard, taking pictures of tulips. I think it was worth it. More pictures will follow over the next days!

little friend

Just a little buddy I found in the garden when I was pulling periwinkle. I think it was under a rock I moved. I took some pictures and then set it back to run off back to shelter.

It’s a long-toed salamander. They’re generally pretty reclusive, but this is the second time I’ve encountered one in our yard.

The spring flowers on Gabe are a little unusual this year.
