This was my boyfriend Chris’ sister’s kitten. Unfortunately, he ran away. Good thing I was able to snap these shots of Mitten before his abrupt and indefinite hiatus.

One day last summer I was mowing our front field-like lawn and happened upon this in the grass:

This fawn was only a day or two old, and even with the grumbling of the lawn mower (which happens to be a Kubota diesel tractor) this little guy stayed put – in my way. No more mowing that day.

This next shot is of my neighbor and her beloved mare. Tara is pretty much one of my best friends. She owns a business bailing and selling hay. Sometimes she’ll call me at random times to go frantically help her gather hay bails because it’s supposed to rain. I have great adventures with her.

And this is the evil monster that lives at my house. Right at this moment she is trying to sabotage me by sleeping on my arms as I try and type. She also loves to jump off the windowsill and land ever so crudely on my keyboard.

She is sort of cute when she sleeps though.

That’s all for now…

One of the most impressive things to see in Montreal is the Biodome and the Botanical Gardens. For a couple of hours you can pretend you are in the rain forest, the arctic, or under the ocean. My favorite part though, is the butterfly garden and the greenhouses that lead up to it.

The butterfly garden is greenhouse style atrium that you can walk through. There are hundreds of butterflies that gracefully and playfully weave in and out of people as they walk by.

The butterfly garden is also covered in huge, beautiful hydrangeas.

Here are some of the flowers and plants in the greenhouses leading up to the butterflies.

That’s all for now…
