Dinner with a 2 year old. There is a reason eating establishments don’t usually serve food on a clear plate. Mr. Spacial calls it “Dinner and a show.”

From one little Dear to another Deer – the one below is an Albino Deer found at Father Hennepin State Park, Minnesota.

Dogs with Dames and Damsels in Dresses. These were captured at Greyhound Pets of America’s Meet and Greet booth at the Renaissance Festival in Shakopee, Minnesota. It is a pretty fun thing to Do with your Retired Racing Greyhound. Our group is there for a weekend every year.

And I’m Done with the ‘D’s!

  4. Hi James,
    I spend a lot of time, it seems, trying to take photos of butterflies and wildflowers. They don't always come out too well, but I manage to get a few good ones. In this particular case I actually got the chance to go visit a butterfly garden and it was really a very calm relaxed place 'inside' where a habitat was created to be friendly to all sorts of exotic butterflies. That is where I got the majority of my butterfly photos that came out well. The butterflies were actually being a lot more still in there than outside. Thank you! Glad you came by!

  8. Oh, that photo of your 'dear' reminded me of eh, well, eh, yesterday! When I did exactly the same. Mind you, I live alone and was not in a restaurant. And it's the best way to enjoy a desert anyway...

  15. Love the butterflies! It's always nice to see those from other countries. Many are nearly the same, but with subtle differences.

    The two year old with the glass plate is priceless!! And so, of course, are the greyhounds. What better dog to have at a Ren Fair?

  17. using the scientific name for the butterflies does open up the options, doesn't it? good job.

  19. We always have said that if we get a dog it will be a retired greyhound. Love them and hate the race tracks...
