Feed me! Feed me!

I came across this hungry scene while picking raspberries.

Just another view of the Blacks

The devil's nostrils

If you are young and translucent and you shine a flashlight on the back of your mouth in just the right way, you can have scary glowing nostrils! Who knew?

I've never actually seen one before

This is a gray tree frog that was, oddly, hanging out on a railing at the Penland Gallery. There are two species of gray tree frog, which are hard to tell apart. One of them, the eastern gray tree frog (hyla versicolor), can change colors for camouflage. They have sticky disks on their toes and can climb up glass. Although they are cold blooded, they produce glycerol in the winter which allows them to withstand low temperatures without their cells freezing. These are not the spring peepers--that's a different species of tree frog.

David and Kim got married

Still liking each other after 19 years, David Zietlow and Kim Kuchon figured "why not?", and so they got their friends and family together and made impassioned professions of love out in public and now they are married. This idyllic scene was followed by music, dancing, eating, and drinking (with exceptional coleslaw!).

Carl's Harp

Carl Peverall with his most recent stone sculpture, titled "Harp." The stones are pinned together with steel rods. Carl builds the sculptures at home and then takes them apart and reassembles them at their final destinations.

How did this happen?

Bob Early sent me down Arbuckle Road to find this strange occurrence. How, one has to wonder, does a piece of tin roofing end up folded tightly over a branch fifteen feet off the ground?
