This moth is rarely seen in California, let alone our back yard in Huntington Beach.	Fungi in Carmichael.  I made my mom wait while I took a picture in an ordinary front yard lawn.
Shot through glass at the San Diego Zoo.  The partial glass partition did not stop the grass topped dirt clod that he threw at Judi.  Clyde was a southpaw and he threw a strike.  [No link to full size image for Clyde because I've lost it]	A walk along the water while awaiting Nathaniel's wedding.  Connecticut is really pretty country.
I was supposed to be taking pictures for work but this duct joint curvature called out to me.  Later at lunch, I drew a sketch on a napkin that became a patented WESP isolator inspection hatch.	Agatha Christie's curios on her desk at Greenway Estate on the Dart.  She wasn't just a detective fiction writer, she was a collector with a curious eye.
The tallest building in London is the Shard (the tip seen here from London Tower Bridge) - it looks a bit incomplete but that was the architect's intent (and I agree).	I shot the picture of the Shard from near the flag on the left.
Notice the mortice atop the flagstone.  The Stonehenge builders were likely early British engineers!	Molly (the first Molly dog not to be confused with Molly the dog on the Torquay ferry) was one of my favorite sites in England.  How can you beat a Jack Russel in a stream for pure joy!
I made Judi and James wait on the trail to Agatha Christie's house so I could take a picture of this fungus.  There's fungus among us even in proper England.	We met Judi's friend, Julia, in Hyde Park (a short walk from our London hotel) and she seemed to call the wildlife to her.  This squirrel was enamored with her.
