Intrepid Explorer

When Archie came home from the vet hospital on May 10th, Webby was intrigued - "How's this thing work?"

Stuffing

We have a stuffed cloth tube from Mud Bay that Webster & Archie just love to"kick the stuffing out of."

Webster also likes to lie on it.

Archie likes to chew on the end.

It takes most of the pass-it-down-the-pecking-order grief.

Webby

Webby seems a little out of sorts sitting in the front window, looking out at me being outside while he's stuck inside. A little later he made two escape attempts out the back door, but didn't get far.

Yesterday, I caught him snoozing on the back of the couch while I was experimenting with vignetting (the dark corners - not very satisfactory).

I'll try to catch Archie soon, to complete this kitty-update.

Pond & lazy

The pond at Golden Gardens Park is a reliable place to see turtles in warm weather, and today seems to have qualified after several not-so-warm days. The turtles tend to come out in decreasing order of size, and only the two largest were out when I was there. But to make up for their smaller companions, there were two herons as well.

Webster's preferred daytime relaxation pose lately has been like this, one elbow on the window sill, taking a break from bird watching. He especially admires the hummingbird that is a frequent visitor, sometimes down in the flowers, sometimes just above him, perched on the wire. Just behind Webster is the fischertechnik construction that Archie posed with a few days ago.
