It looks like the Canon G12 is the frontrunner so far...

Until then, I'm using a backup 1998 Mavica that Clysdalle gave me a few years ago. It makes the battery go dead after 3-4 pictures, but at least it works.

Best shot of the new owls that I could get with this camera:

They leave the hindquarters of small rabbits lying all over the place. I have to find them before the dog does. It's Rabbitland out here. Babalu would love it!

Speaking of the dog, she's turned into a mini mountain of muscle since she's been out here:

Yesterday she caught and killed her first gopher! She's slowly losing her city roots and becoming a countrified dog.

Here's the tortoise that was rescued from the birds a couple days ago:

He has some holes in his shell that look like teeth marks. I have to turn him loose somewhere, but I doubt I'd find a place out here where he'd survive long. This place is harsh, even if you're armoured.

Now on to Tiki Stuff:

Progress shots of the left post:

And now with the bottom face blocked in:


I'll move on to blocking out the other post before I do the detailing on this one.

Meanwhile, the live carved tree is thriving:

All kinds of growth surrounding the carving. It will look neat with the branches eventually trained around the Moai:

New little leaves everywhere:

Find any of these yet??

Yes, in fact. Three days ago, Poki and I ran into this guy 4-5 times throughout the day:

I also saw him about a week ago on the ramp leading to the work area. It's kinda like a corn snake colored gopher snake with a banded king snake head and a sandy colored tail. It looks like three snakes fused into one. He acts like a fake rattlesnake as well. He's not bothered or scared of me, but hates the dog. Freaks out when it can see her. It's about 3.5 to 4 feet long.

Alright, I need to go vaccuum now.
Buzzy Out!
