Don't Bug Me!

This little "monster" was hanging on the wall next to my back door!
The last time I saw one of these, I was a teen. My Pop found one in the garden.
We put it in a jar and I poked it with a piece of a carrot.
Those pinchers went right through the carrot!
This is a Stag Beetle. Approximately 1.75 inches in length.

I Scream, You Scream...

... It would make me scream if I saw it!

Attack Of the Starlings!

These birds appeared like locusts last week when the first warm day 
cleared the lawns of snow.
What you don't see is next door and across the street another hundred or so Starlings
pecking away at the lawns!
And just as fast as they arrived, they were gone!
A couple days later, I saw them again in another part of town.

Scary Halloween Pumpkins

This is one of the extreme carved pumpkins by Villafane Studios.
Click the link to see more carvings.
BOO!
Judging by the super storm Sandy, there may not be much Halloween on the east coast or the midwest.

Got Paint?

Moni Tribesmen of Papua, New Guinea.
Despite their fierce look, they are quite friendly and very intelligent.

The Green Hornet?

I doubt it, but...

...I'd be afraid to get anywhere near him.
I might start glowing when I got home.

The Bag Guys

One's the bodyguard-lookout. The other is the evil boss.
Be afraid - be very afraid to go into the basement.
And keep one hand on your wallet.

Scared Of Crows?

When I saw this, I pulled over so fast the oncoming traffic hit the brakes to see if I was in an accident!
HOLY CRAP!
I thought, what the heck is in that yard that they are feeding on?
When I got close, they didn't fly off. Clumsy me. They weren't real.
This is one of the most tasteful Halloween displays I've ever seen.

Smiley Tomato - Or Cheshire Core

I was chopping tomatoes for a salsa when this little gnome appeared in one of the cores.
He granted me only one wish and I screwed it up pretty bad.
Now I have to find out where I can get size 14 shoes...
