My coworker Juli has declared that we shall have a Brownie Bake-off on Tuesday at work. Today Doug and I cooked up a batch of Turtle Brownies; the batter was quite tasty, so here’s hoping the brownies will be too!

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

pigeon love
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.![]()
