Photopost: Earliest Spring

The Earth turned, the weather changed. We will have more hard storms and cold times, I'm sure, but spring has come here even if things haven't started growing yet. Have some pictures.

A visitor came courting (you can tell by his swollen palps). Good luck, fella.

I have the least photogenic cats ever. Trucker really does look like a pile of laundry lint made feline, but Nocturne is a lot cuter in person. They are totally pear-shaped; I decreased their food and they look better now.

I miss Bagheera, but his people came and retrieved him, which is a good thing for a cat. Hope he's happy.

They are still on a sit-stay. Those can (and should) last awhile.

I get funky with the camera angle and Rooster swims. Have fun brushing that when all the coat's grown in, Kyn.

Is Coba.

The light was so pretty, I'm sad it wasn't in focus.

Also, he swims.

Luck has expressions. It's a border collie thing.

Is still Coba. The unmatched brown flecks in his irises makes him look a bit mad-eyed; I kinda love it.

Beautiful slimy yellow fungus on rotted wood, I love you.

Yellow emerges. I didn't do anything with the saturation; the photos are, if anything, less vivid than the reality.

This hen was given to me by a guy who was going to give her to the feed store; she's old and so not worth anything. She has been laying for me just fine given the time of year, though. She's a pretty bird and I like her; my chickens are more pets than utility, anyway. There have been no further raccoon losses since I reinforced my coop, yay!

oooh, all of those are just gorgeous. I googled the redbacks---wow, those really are pretty! The CA slenders appear to come in a couple of subtle color morphs; I see black through dark brown through pretty red ones. Apparently there are a bunch of subspecies, but I'm not able to distinguish them.

Those spotted salamanders are just CUTE.
