it looks like a small hummingbird. it’s a moth.  pretty cool.

for free day at work, we hired a bunch of street performer type acts to keep the people in line entertained.  and the people working.  this guy amused me….as he placed all this stuff on his chin, he’d mutter “take…..the picture……NOW!”  (reminded me of Young Frankenstein…)

every month the floor staff gets some kind of free lunch or dessert or some such, and today it was hot dogs.  now, a pile of dogs off the grill is festive.  a pile of supermarket dogs, out of the microwave (I assume) is kind of….sad.  and unappetizing.

it’s not all that unusual to find a bowl of playdough in the staff lounge, but this batch was very warm, having been heated in the microwave, which is a little weird.

a few minutes after I took this picture, the skies opened up…

went to see Commonwealth Shakespeare’s annual free production on the Common. this year was “Two Gentlemen of Verona” which was absolutely brilliant. and the weather was just perfect for enjoying an outdoor performance.

had a large scale mural project going on today, which prompted me to try the panorama setting on my camera for the first time.

this is a Green Crab. they’re usually reddish brown. go figure.

a couple summers ago, there was a caterpillar photo exhibition at work, and we had a few live demos, which were amazing.  well, I invited them back for a day and it was still just  mind-boggling.  I will post more pictures later, but I did like this one….the lighting/focus are a bit off, so it looks like they’re silhouetted on the back of the leaf, which they’re not.
