Pictures of cute things...
I will freely admit that I've always been a bit fond of spiders, and have quite a lot of love for tarantulas beginning with Gala, the rose-hair that I kept when I was in high school. This fondness applied to random spiders I might encounter in general, however, has been enough at odds with the opinions of most of the people around me that I'd gone into a holding pattern of "politely ignore them unless it's strictly necessary to remove them to the outside." My lady-friend, however, loves spiders the way that serious birdwatchers love birds, so under her influence I have been paying more attention to them. I'm glad of that; they really are quite beautiful and fascinating, and gratifying to a wildlife-watcher and wannabe photographer because unlike big mammals and birds, there's nearly always one about.
Which brings me to this morning, when I noticed this little jumping spider on the door of my truck. I've never seen one like this, but that could easily be because I have been deliberately not looking, which is too bad because geez, this is an adorably kittenish little thing. Kyn, consider this your get-well-soon spiderpic. Please let me know if you can identify it.
"Hi! You can't possibly be scared of me, can you? I am tiny and fuzzy and have big anime eyes."
Wee jumper.
This is a different spider, a little white orb weaver.
OK, so maybe you're not impressed by the spiders. The puppies are also cute.
Brace of collies!
Rooster SWIMS. He water retrieves. I laugh and laugh, because he is a rough collie and as a breed, they really do not do that. Bliss and Coba, for instance, are Very Concerned when I swim. Kyn is going have fun grooming that when he is a mature male in full show coat and decides he wants to retrieve a stick from a body of water elevendy zillion times.
Pics from a different night, because puppies aren't allowed in my bed unless they are completely clean and freshly groomed.
Pretty colliehead. It is long and smooth and nice to pet.
Plush animals that are actually dogs.
