Just as we were leaving the house yesterday afternoon, we saw this guy next to the driveway, so I got out of the car and took a couple of pictures.  He was eating a lizard, and then, he slithered up the wall and disappeared on the hill.

In Beijing and Shanghai the traffic was coming from every direction, but they all seemed to know what they were doing and I think I only saw one accident.  Of course, they were all moving pretty slow.  I wasn't driving, just a passenger.

naples to norway

That is a LONG ride.

he's insane. he rode from toronto to BC last year but didn't make it to vancouver because some farmer forced him off the road while passing him with a tractor and hay baler and he broke his shoulder. he's ridden across the US 3 times.

Around 6 weeks ago they finished the Japanese garden in the park next to us and we went over to see it. It uses rocks in place of water then to me I thought it was quite beautiful and just imagine what it will be like in a couple of years when it matures. 

Yes, that's a huge turtle in the middle of the lagoon..

"No, it's not a painting and it wasn't photoshopped either. These are polar stratospheric clouds over Iceland.”
Polar stratospheric ice clouds (naked clouds) form at temperatures below the ice sublimation point, usually around −85 °C, a temperature lower than the average temperature of the lower stratosphere.
While I was transforming from a grizzly bear to an eagle over Iceland I snapped these photos, I thought that you humans might like them.
