These two are so cute together. They even sleep back-to-back. Alex just adores Nelson, and she follows him everywhere. Who wouldn't adore Nelson? He's like a big cuddly teddy bear.
There's a really aggressive squirrel in my backyard. She muscles the cats out of the way to get their kibble, and when I bring the kibble in the house, she comes right in through an open door to get it. This morning she came in and ate an avocado on the kitchen counter.
Then she was wearing down her teeth on the screen door, which I captured on this video. (Oops! It's sideways. I forgot that you can't rotate a video, or at least I can't. Sorry about that. Turn your head sideways to watch it!)
She's fearless, and seems to be desperately hungry. What do you do with a wild animal like this?
Luci in a pensive moment. I love these guys. They're great friends, and they keep me company. It would be really lonely working here at home without them.
My friend Darlene DeMille has been dedicated to photographing the sunrise everyday since 2001. Not only that, but she drives up to Malibu to photograph the sunrise, which means getting up way before sunrise! If she's traveling, she photographs the sunrise from wherever she is. I admire her tenacity.
The photo above is one that Darlene sent me two days ago, on Tuesday, September 30th, of the sunrise that morning. You can see and purchase any of Darlene's sunrise photographs on her Sunrise Sunrise website. They make unique gifts for special occasions such as anniversaries, weddings, births, graduations . . . or for no occasion at all, just because they're beautiful.
I got my hair cut yesterday. I said #2 clippers, but this looks more like a #1 clipper cut -- a tad shorter than I was expecting. Oh well. It feels good in this hot weather, anyway.
I am an artist, living and working in the Los Angeles area. I consider myself to be part "mad scientist," because I'm interested in observing the effects of combining unorthodox materials and manipulating paint in unusual ways.
