Yeah… I don’t know. Just messing around.
I’m sure it was something unpleasant that surprised this fellow. Have pity on him.

Look at all those levers! If it weren’t for the frilly canopy, this tractor would look downright diabolical.
This photo just screamed to be converted to black and white. I also adjusted the contrast to give it more of an old photo look.

It looks like, Cuddles, the missing giant squid, has finally turned up. Pi has an uncomfortable moment with this turn of events. Check out the full comic here.
The past few weeks have been absolutely gorgeous weather wise. While nice weather is not all that unusual in itself, during this time of year (Rose Festival season in and around Portland, Oregon) is a bit odd, especially with the added bonus of hot temperatures. I can’t even remember the last time the Starlight Parade wasn’t damp, overcast, or cold. This, most definitely, is a sign that the end times are nigh. Or not. Whatever. It’s still weird, but I’m not complaining. Well, as long as my garden doesn’t melt, that is.
This photo was taken the Friday before Mother’s Day at the Crystal Springs Rhododendron Garden. I adore going there this time of year, when all the rhodies are strutting their stuff. I I end up running around like an excited puppy around bubbles. Must take photos of them ALL. This year I was pleasantly surprised to discover that one of the largest rhody bushes, towards the far end of the gardens was actually fragrant. Joy of joys!
I told you. Puppy. Bubbles. Seriously.
Anyway, in conclusion, I named this photo after Jonathan Coulton’s latest song “Blue Sunny Day” because a sunny day is not complete without a suicidal vampire. Or so I hear.

The Secret Lair Webcomic: Welcome Home

Looks like Overlord Miller has finally made his grand return to The Secret Lair. While he had some fun overseeing the construction of The Secret Lair West, he’s bound to have more enjoyment at home. Well, as long as he survives the “Welcome Home” celebrations, that is. Check out the comic here.
Humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) participating in a male competition group. There was at least a half a dozen of whales splashing around and head butting each other in this group as we watched for a good hour. They were still at it when the boat returned to the harbor. She must have been quite the humpback lady of hotness that they were fighting over.
