Tuesday Morning Hummercam Update
I swear to God, my wife, and mother hummingbird I won’t do this often, but I couldn’t resist. Note to PETA: she’s back on her nest now, and everything’s cool.
Monday DogBlogging & Hummercam Update
Thursday Morning DogBlogging
Our back yard is enclosed with a high cinderblock fence, and until two nights ago it was Schatzi’s hood. If she heard a dog bark or smelled javelina nearby, she’d shoot out the doggy door into the back yard, loudly letting the world know she was on the job, defending our home. Until two nights […]

Apparently Iran can’t keep its citizens off Twitter, and they’re providing the news and photographic coverage our own media […]
