Back Off, Jack

Posted on by

What I thought my elk friend was telling with this look was,

“Usually, I’m a sociable guy, but sometimes, I just want everyone to leave me alone.

So, back off, Jack.”

Cozy Refuge

Posted on by

Wouldn’t you like to be able to make a cozy refuge for yourself like this one?

It’s loosely woven which allows you to see what is going on around you.

At the same time, it’s difficult for others to see you.

How to Blend-in

Posted on by

I’ve been reading about how to blend-in with my environment.

  • Step-1=Wear colors and patterns that seem to look like everything around you.
  • Step-2=Move slowly and gracefully. Make no sudden moves.

I captured a photo of an animal that illustrates these steps in how to blend-in.

Over-sized Toothpick

Posted on by

Doesn’t it drive you crazy when you get something stuck between your teeth?

My dentist cautioned me to be careful with toothpicks because they could damage my gums.

This photo made me wonder what the dentist would say about this over-sized toothpick.

Koala Grip

Posted on by

The koala has opposable thumbs and toes to allow a tight grip when climbing.

They also have rough pads on the undersurface of their hands and feet to increase tractions while they climb.

That is fascinating, but my favorite thing about koalas is that they take a good photo.

Bath or Shower?

Posted on by

Are you a shower person or bath person?

To me the difference is related to how you approach problems.

Would you rather: 

  • quickly wash troubles down the drain?
  • let them melt away in a soothing tub of water?

What choice do you think our cardinal friend prefers?
