More Batstractions
I don’t know why I keep trying to photograph bats zooming around me when I’m on the levee. It’s dark, they are fast and erratic, and it’s hard to get a really clear shot. But I keep going “Bat” Jack and doing it again, and again, and again.
Hummingbird Yoga
Crucified
A hummingbird was hovering above me going through its yoga positions while I was out walking on the levee. The specks in the images are swarms of gnats or little flies that the hummingbird is feeding on.

Spunk Practices Safe Kitten Social Distancing
Spunk and the other kitties are still reluctant to go into the bedroom with the kittens. The kittens are real monsters under the bed. Spunk decided they were okay and the screen, but Morgana still managed to scratch Spunk’s nose.
Monarch and a Skipper
The Skipper flew into the Monarch. The Monarch flew away.
Nuevas Gatitas
Glenda
We adopted two black kittens, Glenda and Morgana. They came home yesterday. They are 8 weeks old. They are having so much fun that they will not hold still for photos.
So far the other kitties are afraid of them. Marble sniffed Morgana after we brought the kittens home, Morgana spat at Marble and Marble said “¡Hasta la vista, baby!” and ran out of the bedroom. The other cats saw the exchange and followed suit. The other cats can come in and go out of the bedroom through a kitty door, but so far they are staying out of the bedroom.
Glenda and Morgana are having a ball playing in and around all the boxes and fabric under our bed. They played on Laurie and me and attacked us for about an hour after we went to bed last night. They would come up and snuggle and purr for a few seconds and then go back to playing. Each one has a distinctive purr. They finally settled in and slept on us for a couple of hours before they moved to a box under the bed that’s full of fabric they like to curl up in and sleep together.

Oh My it’s Mothra
While I was standing on the sidewalk in front of the office talking to Jim, he noticed a moth on the front door. I picked it up and it sat on my arm fluttering its wings really fast. I did photos of the moth. In “Live View”, the wings fluttered in slow motion. I converted the “Live View” photos to gifs and then to video and put the above video together with guitar accompaniment. After the moth futtered on my arm for about a minute, it flew over to the wall by the door.
“Up against the wall you red neck…” Mothra†
†Mothra is a fictional monster that first appeared in the 1961 film Mothra, produced and distributed by Toho Studios. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mothra to learn more.
Persistence of Clothespins
Silver was helping me at the clothesline when had an existential experience with a persistence of clothespins.
