Bunnies!

These critters were out back of my building in our highly manicured lawn munching on some clover. I caught them out of the corner of my eye as I was taking out the trash. At first I dismissed them as squirrels, however with a closer look I discovered they were in fact a couple of hares from the wilds of Melrose. I ran back up stairs to get the camera. One bunny is something I occasionally see, but two bunnies at once? It had to be documented. The thought crossed my mind after I was out there that the two might be out on a hot date, so after taking these few blinding shots with my flash photography I decided to leave the herbivores in peace with their fresh salad buffet.

Hope you enjoyed this political intermission!

June, a week gone by already!

I had a very nice weekend, despite spending part of it at work on Saturday. I had Indian buffet for lunch and that sort of helped to make up for it. Saturday night Kate and I had a great summer feast of cheeseburgers, corn on the cob, and potato salad- as close to the way my Mom makes it as I can manage. I even soaked some sliced cucumbers in vinegar, a family favorite.

Kate and I watched "Into the Wild" which was a pretty good film based on the true story of a misguided youth who embarks on a unusual method of dealing with baggage he carries because of a tumultuous family life.

Saturday Kate and I went biking around the Middlesex Fells Reservation. The weather was gorgeous and I think we both had a pretty good time. We saw a large toad scrambling up an embankment, unfortunately I did not think to take a picture.

It should be an early day for me at work tomorrow, and I plan to bike in too so I'm going to cut this short.

The Turtle

Don't question it.... the turtle is there!!
