I’m doubt anyone will guess what this mystery photo is:   <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
You might guess the general nature this one:<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I had fun with dirt and rocks again, this time building stairs and a trail out to the front yard.   I also re-arranged some rocks in the creek to build a small pool:<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
I was apprehensive that it would be washed away in the next rain storm.  We got that test last night.  This is what 3+” of rain looks like:<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
That little pond is submerged under this angry brown maelstrom:<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
Amazingly, this morning showed the little pond survived:<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
A clue on those 2 mystery photos:  there are no humans in this post.   But I have plenty of critters.  This one is doggy’s nemesis:<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This one loves my computer monitor:<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

I’d like to say I caught this one in mid-flight with my super-classified camera equipped micro-drone:<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

But in truth I caught him crawling on a window.    I convinced him (with a not-so-super-classified drug, commonly known as RAID), to pose for me on a plant leaf:<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The fox made another visit:<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Hard to believe he is related to this guy:<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
On the other hand, I guess humans share 88% of our genes with a mouse, so …<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
We also share 65% of our genes with a chicken.    Doggy has slimed up his chicken toy so much we don’t like touching it anymore.   I tried to teach doggy to play with a rope instead, but he had little interest.   So I came up with this compromise:  <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

That first mystery photo comes from the tails of these guys:<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Helen’s parents inherited them in the fountain of the house they bought.   They didn’t want them, but   Fish Fan Helen did, even though we didn’t have a place to put them.   So for now, we have them in an undersized aquarium on our deck:<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I learned that Coy fish are basically carp that have been bread to be pretty.   <\/div>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
If you release them back into the wild, they will revert back to a boring brown color, so the predators won’t find them in the water.   I am embarrassed to admit we though the black one was a catfish until we got a better look at him.   I felt like a terrible fish-racist: <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The other mystery photo is from doggy’s right eye, which you might have guessed.   The reflection would have been a hard guess.   It is the tree house (our wooden porch) roof as he looked up: <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

Lastly, I did a vlog post on how to use my voice to control the doggy … it is not what you think!<\/p>\n
