Bluejay

This was fun to watch this morning. The fledgling bluejay that has been hopping around our yard finally made it to the feeder and the bath.

Statues





Outside the gym are these metal statues. I always thought the girl looked particularly horrified, as if she realized, a fraction of a section too late, that she was being frozen for all eternity in this position. But then Demetrius saw a Doctor Who episode called Blink, and said it made the statues seem even more diabolical to him. I never watched the whole episode, but I've seen enough of it to get these words in my head whenever I pass the statues on my way to the pool.

Don’t blink. Don’t even blink! Blink and you’re dead. They are fast…faster than you could believe… don’t turn your back…don’t look away, and whatever you do, don’t blink! Good luck.
