Spider by the door

This is my new buddy at work. It just hangs out by the front door waiting for a little snack. For as much as these things frighten me, they also amaze me. In the 3 days since I have noticed it, it hasn't moved much from the same position.

Life Aquatic

This is part of the aquatic plant exhibit at the Conservatory of Flowers in San Francisco.

Gathering Energy

With only 21 days remaining for Christmas Eve, this little guy has to reserve his (her?) energy for the Big Trip. By the way, the stuff hanging from the antlers is the shedded outer layer.

Hairy Altoid

This is not for the faint of stomach. I was ready to pop this little beauty into my mouth when I noticed that it was a little different. As you can see in the picture, there is a hair that goes right through the tablet. The origin of the hair (i.e., which part of the person's body it came from) is still up for debate. When I contacted Altoids with the problem, they sent me 3 coupons good for 1 ea. of any kind of Altoid I want. Big whoop!
