Lis's Project 365

As is typical of him, Parker is unfazed by the fact that there’s a bicycle in the living room. It was there all night, and I was fully expecting to hear a crash, but it never came.

Went to the Revere Sandsculpting Festival today. Every year I see the pictures online and think “dammit! I wanted to go see that!” and this year I finally did.

This was my favorite sculpture. I should have taken a picture of the backside as well, which showed the rest of the lion’s body, with his head stuck through the front-facing opening.

The last one was a Black Swallowtail. This time it’s a Spicebush Swallowtail. Pretty groovy looking little fellow, isn’t he?

Doug and I enjoy having dinner outside in the summer. It’s not very buggy on our deck, and we get to enjoy the evening sky.

I know most people don’t like pigeons–“rats with wings” is what people call them. But for someone like me, who enjoys observing animal behaviors, they are a perfect subject, as you can get quite close to them. For example, pigeons may mate for life, but still engage in various courtship rituals, like chasing each other around on the ground. It’s pretty funny.

I have no idea who wrote this on my whiteboard, but it really made me smile and made my day that much better. So, thank you, whoever you are!

From a distance, all I could see were the black necks of these Canada geese (not Canadian geese!!). As I got closer, I realized what they were, and wondered what they were doing on the edge of the channel.
