Capital Rose Garden

Yesterday I took a nice stroll through the gardens around the Capital building on my way to lunch.  Even though the weather has been strangely chilly and rainy, the flowers were still blooming beautifully.


The creepiest crawlie!

WARNING:  You are about to see a close encounter of the spidery kind.  Quick, avert your eyes and skip on to the next post if spiders are not your thing.












this guy was super fast and I was frantically following it around with the camera, kind of close, to get a Macro mode photo.  At one point it got a little annoyed; here it's definitely looking right at me and sort of menacing the camera with it's chelicerae (the blue mouth parts).  I believe it's commonly known as the "Bold Jumping Spider".  It was pretty cool, but looking at it now is kind of giving me the creeps!

Elementary, my dear Watson

I had some time today to put together a few more little pretties.

I've also been working on the display case and it is coming along quite nicely.  Maybe I'll get it finished tonight and post a picture tomorrow. 

Misha is recovering very well from her recent brush with death, I'm taking her to the vet tomorrow for a check up just to make sure.
