You can make up your own title on this one

You can make up your own title here, I'm not really making a religious statement right now. I just wonder how many people are convinced to change their mindsets because a person holds a sign and yells into a microphone or bullhorn, or just plain shouts.
But this is America, and I love that we have the freedom to do this, no matter what the sign says, or the person is shouting.

Phoenix


This is the much less seen member of the Spicuzza Zoo, our Dumeril's Ground Boa named Phoenix.  I was going to post a picture of Phoenix eating his lunch, but spared you from the violence.  If your interested in seeing those pics, head over to my flickr page and see the rest of the pictures.  Nothing gory, no blood and guts or nuthin', but if you like small, fuzzy rodents, this is not for you.
This pic is shortly after he finished lunch, you can see the big bulge in his middle.  I like how he looks as he is still coiled up a bit, wrapped around himself.

The Celebrity

Our sweet pup Ninja has gone viral. He is the hottest canine celeb of the moment on the web. Even with his high demand schedule (trees to mark, butts to sniff), he wants to thank his legions of adoring fans.


So to all those little people that made him the Brad Pitt of pups, he'd like to say thanks.

Hopes and Dreams for $ale

Today, I found Hopes and Dreams for sale at of all places, Ross.




Along with the saddest little clearance shelf you ever did see.


At night, I bet the bunny puts on the shoes and dances while the elephant plays the trumpet.

Venus


Venus is visible in the early night sky for just a short while. It looks like a very bright star to the naked eye.

I use just a point and shoot camera these days, a nice one, lots of bells and whistles, but nothing exactly professional. (I will accept all donations toward new equipment) With this camera, I have gotten a few really awesome pics of the moon.


So, I took aim at the really bright dot in the sky. This is a hand held shot, at 80x zoom, with a half second exposure. Pretty cool.
