Male Glowworm

Phengodes sp. (likely plumosa)

While tromping around today I was excited to come across this male glowworm! He's a tiny little guy and I almost missed him. The female glowworms remain larviform in adulthood, and they and the larvae are the ones that glow, males do not. Alas, no females (or larvae) in sight.

(Those are my binoculars behind him for contrast...
my camera kind of sucks at focusing on tiny things)

Day 6 - Lizard

  The drawing of this lizard was interrupted by errands today but luckily I remembered to come back to it. The hubs walked in while I was working on it and said " ugh " (and actually flicked out his tongue much like a lizard)...which I suppose means that it looks real enough ;) ~January 6, 2022~ The Gallery for this Draw Something ( anything! ) Daily Challenge can be seen   HERE

The Heian Book Report

I've started re-reading my Heian-era Japanese Literature books (all English translations) and thought I'd write a few thoughts about each while it's fresh in my mind. I started with Hojoki and Tsurezuregusa . So, this is just my announcement, you can read a bit more about my  Heian Obsession here  and I will post all of the book reports to this page .

Maceo

Last night I lost my beloved Maceo.  I've had him since he was six weeks old and he just turned 17 on April 1st.  I miss him dearly already. Rest well sweet boy.
