Wanna buy a duck?
Well, our geese have been spirited away to a park. I miss the geese, but one started charging people, so they had to move them away. One of them loved to nibble on shoelaces and bracelets, and you could pet him, but another got aggressive, so I can understand, but their antics were hilarious. The mallards had yet another batch of baby ducks. They are so cute, following the mamma duck. They are tiny, but real determined, and they hop over the rocks in the creek. So cute! The most interesting were the Canadian geese, when they had babies, both parents walked with the babies between them. Real protective!

Thanks for suggestions for really long spikes to stand up. Maybe next year at AX--- I have anime tee shirts-- my favorite is my Spike Spiegel shirt, and then FMA and I found a Wolfwood shirt. The Spike shirt is wearing out , so I will look for a new one-- used to get them at Hot Topic, but I haven't seen any in the stores. If there's none at AX, I'll try the Internet. Since I have a lot of black slacks, and some black backgroun anime shirts, with my cameras, I could be a paparazzi! LOL-- I do love photography though.

Weird weather is everywhere-- the humidity is bad, and the rains have been bad, and this is only the beginning of the summer. OOOOh-- Mother Nature must be in a foul mood!

AX is Anime Expo, held July1-4 every year in the Anaheim Convention Center. It is huge, and very close to Disneyland. There are 24 hour showing of classic films, cosplay, and last year origami and go. I want to go to the cultural things this year. My friend (who now lives in Maine) came with me last year, but for Disney's 50th , we spent half the time at Disneyland. This year I will just be at AX.

I am always so glad to read comments from good friends. It's a great way to bridge all the distances. You are so creative, and have many interests, I learn a lot from things you say.

A little question: do you all like to watch cartoons as well as anime and what are your favorites? I really enjoyed Samurai Jack when that was showing-- it really seemed different in style. I kinda get a chuckle out of The Kids Next Door-- sort of a good satire on James Bond, and classic spy films. I think this summer will be a lot of mall walking and movies at home with the parrots. (one of them can be an awful critic--- when he doesn't like something, he squawks. The big parrot loves opera!)

That was a stone lantern from Moriami gardens-- there were several there. Here is another pictures of some flowers in one of the gardens:



Keep your feet dry! And find some shade to cool and soothe.
