Tales of Home [9]

I'd rather go with something fuzzier. If you remove their glands skunks are cute as all get out.  I'd gladly take a skunk as a pet.

Awh They are beautiful

Back when I was working a summer camp in texas, a skunk came into our tent. So cute it nearly breaks your heart, and you really want to touch it. But that might set off the security system, so you just bite your lip and watch it.

aww lovely little creatures.

I know it's not Throwback Thursday yet, but I was looking through a bunch of old photos the other day and with nostalgia on my mind tonight thanks to the Lilyhammer thread I wanted to share one in particular. Most of my dad's photos from my childhood have never been digitized but this one was taken on a digital camera in 2006, when I was 11. He was waging "the battle against beige" in his apartment at the time since he didn't want to paint the walls and then have to repaint them when he left, so he found a bunch of other ways to add color, including this Jackson Pollock-esque shelf that we (mainly he) made.

{{I like the sound of your old man already Eldo and you take after him in looks. you are like his mini-me in that pic }}}

your dad is channeling Mr Tumnus, does he have a red scarf? or maybe its the half nekkid man with curly wild hair.

Very handsome man, And you certainly take after him Eldo Beige is a good base colour & it encourages creativity Don't knock the beige lol

I like the Mr Tumnus comparison. I don't think he has a red scarf, but he does have some multicolored homemade winter hats.

We got 3-4 wet inches, but it melted the next day. I didn't take enough pictures in the morning (only one) and it was already falling off branches by early afternoon.

Middle of Autumn and its 33

Seen on Facebook:

I'm probably the only one who got that.

I knew I could count on you.

Where I live.....1901....
{{{ I might be in there }}}

I think i see you in the white skirt. Look there's me behind you checking you out

LOL, yep, your right !!

In a 100yrs time, people will be looking at photos of us and be saying, dont they dress funny.
Can't imagine what fashion will look like then.



Can see me wearing this.

Poor young man, looks like he fell thru a fence

Stay warm, bungo!

{{We had a fairly uncommon sight in our local waters today- a pod of orca whales with couple of calves (which is good to see) unfortunately all the best vids seem to be on facebook- this is only one I could find on youtube}}

Much better. Couldn't really see them in the video.

{{Best Ive seen taken from one of the Western Ferries vessels- the ferry decided too change course a bit to take its passengers whale spotting! }}
