Itsy Bitsy Spider

I had a visitor today at lunch.

DNC Bedbugs

Looks like delegates to the Democratic National Convention will leave with more than they anticipated.  Apparently Charlotte, North Carolina is having a lodging crisis that is putting delegates and reporters in 1 star accommodations.   Among the problems:  drug dealers, prostitutes, and bedbugs.  If it were just the first two, you probably wouldn't hear any Democrats complaining; afterall, they are all about sex and drugs on demand.  But the bedbugs have them screaming and itching.

Mockazine would like to welcome the newest class of parasites to the Democrat(ick) party by joining in on the #BedbugsforObama meme.  I propose they drop that old donkey mascot and replace it with a forward looking bedbug mascot.  I guarantee no other party lays claim.

 

Testudines on Top

 

I know the turtle is just sunning itself, but it looks like "he" is taking advantage of the alligator in another way.

 

When Gators Cuddle

The Calm Before the Splash

We went to Sea World. My son loves Shamu so we went to see the Shamu show: Miracles.  It was awe-inspiring. I managed to pull off this shot without letting my camera get wet.

Sometimes you just can't make it.

Either the stalls were already occupied when the deer showed up, or it just had to go so bad that it could not make it to the toilet.

Squirrel Cools Off

On a recent trip to a botanical garden, my son saw a squirrel a few feet away from us.  He said, "Dad, you ought to take a picture of that squirrel."  

I did.  Right after I took the picture, the squirrel squatted down, spread his legs out, and laid belly down on the dirt to cool off.  Of course, I took another picture. I think my son and I will laugh about that squirrel for years to come.
