An owl we already know - a critter - and toys in the pool

Every year, on my bike rides here, I come to a house where seemingly the same owl sits in the same spot, and I've shown it before. It has grown a bit. These are today's photos.





Does this critter stick out it's colorful tongue at me. I think it does.





Since the ocean's not yet warm enough for Mom, we're hanging in the pool. My underwater camera, finding and showing you a dead gecko a day ago, today is showing you a dead toy, and a dead mermaid.

It looks like you're enjoying the underwater camera. (I am too!)

I have a request...

Could you try taking some shots with the lens half in, and half out of the water?

Half in half out has not worked yet in a way I like, still trying stuff out with the camera. The kids turned it on, turned it to movie move, and threw it in the air over the water, and then dragged it through the water.
It's hysterical. We laugh til we cry.

Reminded of this-do you know it? Very cool and dream-like.



If you want to see some really beautiful Greek coins, check out the "wall photos" I have on FB.
