Penguins!
Just after New Year's I had to go up to Boston, unfortunately because of a death in the family. I ended up staying for a few weeks, and got to have some fun too, including going to the New England Aquarium. I don't remember the last time I was there, at least 10 years ago, probably more. But the penguins are still one of my favorite exhibits. The ones with yellow feathers on the sides of their heads are especially cute, they have such funny expressions.

Lazy Animals
Last week I went to the Virginia Living Museum. Its a small science museum, mainly focusing on animals native to Virginia. There are several aquariums, and a short boardwalk trail that goes through some nice gardens using native plants and a small zoo, with all animals that were unable to survive on their own. Most of the animals were sleeping, but still really cute.
A great blue heron, not part of the museum, just wading in the shallow waters of a neighboring pond..
Red Wolves. These were my favorite animals here. I love how they curl up into little balls, just like my Chewbacca does.
Bald Eagle
Bobcat
Fox. Super cute!

End of Summer
I have to say, I'm kind of glad summer is over here. The weather has cooled down some, still some nice beach days but not so hot it is uncomfortable. The tourists have mostly left. And, after 4 years of living at the beach, my boyfriend finally got a bike last weekend. Fall camping. Fall gardening, by august the garden was looking quite straggly. Although Irene didn't do much damage, she definitely put a few struggling plants out of their misery. I seem to get better harvests in the Spring and Fall.
Woodcut print of Atasuma Gorge. I love this, its the September page of my calendar, and I've been looking forward to it since January.
Kiptopeke State Park. One of our favorite places to walk on weekends. Labor Day was the first time we've been there since the spring, and we can look forward to our weekend walking/hiking trips and picnics again now that it isnt too hot for the dogs middday.
First tomatoes of the summer! In early July. Soon I can look forward to fresh lettuce, broccoli, and collards.
Pretty Mai Tai for my birthday. In case you are wondering, Yes, the fancy straw did make it taste better.
