If angels dare tread
Fallen, sent, or otherwise
There’s no going back

This California Root Borer Beetle wanted to hang out in the house with us, but I was afraid we would step on him. He was not happy about me putting him back outside. He said, “But the Angels get to stay!” He had a point.


Spunk: “Bah, Solstice humbug! The stinking day lasts too stinking long on stinking Solstice!”

A Papilio rutulus was philandering with flowers when I got home this afternoon. Mr. P was so preoccupied that I was able to get close enough with my phone to get some detail. Commonly known as the Western Tiger Swallowtail, Papilio rutulus is a swallowtail butterfly belonging to the Papilionidae family.




Well, ya’ll, Spunk here. The temperature’s rising, and while the Paparazzo waters, he pesters us with his clicks. He’s such a pest, but at least the flowers are blooming.



Wisteria hanging in the hood
It’s me, Glenda. I’m enjoying the heat, the cat tree, and the blooming blooms! Fortunately, the pesky Paparazzo is smart enough to know he doesn’t need to water the cat tree. However, we need to make him understand he doesn’t need to water cats the same as plants when we are outside.

Look deep into my eyes, pesky Paparazzo! You are feeling sleepy, and sleepier. You’re asleep! You will not pour water on me or the other kitties when we are outdoors. We are Cats, not Plants!



Austrian Copper and Lady Banks

Good evening! Gwendolyn here. Let me tell you that the pesky Paparazzo Bugs! He’s way worse than Spot, the orange ladybug, hanging out on the Peony buds.




Okay, you stupid paparazzo. Enough flower photos already. You are wearing everyone out. Especially moi!
