Rocket Raccoon For The Win

 

 

No, this post doesn’t have anything to do with Guardians of the Galaxy (though I do want to see the film), but the title got your attention, didn’t it? d_[^_^]

 

Anyway, one day last week I came home to find this….

 

Bent Birdfeeder Poles

 

I was freaking out, wracking my brain trying to figure out who or what could possibly have done it. Then, recently, I found my answer.

 

Raccoon 1

 

This little bandit decided to not only steal the suet I put out for the birds, but also the entire cage it was in and the hook I used to hang the cage! Then! He (or she, I’m not sure) came back the next night and went after the other bird feeder I have out. The smart little bugger pulled the feeder down, pulled the sticks that the birds perch on out of it, pulled the cap off, and ate every single seed in the feeder and every single seed that fell out onto the ground.

 

Raccoon 2

 

I guess he doesn’t understand that I put out bird seed for the birds!

 

Raccoon=2, Me and my bird feeders=0

 

 

Until next time…

Dragon Family

 

Greetings all. Last week I showed you a few shots from Daemon’s first trip to the beach. I also told you that, this week, I’d introduce you to his family.

 

Well, meet Daemon’s mate, Isadora, and their hatchlings Danae (female), and Iskandar (male). Danae is on the left, looking at Daemon, and Iskandar is on the right looking at Isadora. The third hatchling hasn’t hatched yet so we’re not sure if it’s male or female, thus, it hasn‘t yet been named. I’ll keep you posted on that one though.

I don’t think Isadora and the hatchlings will be as active in photo shoots as Daemon. At least, not quite yet. As you can see, Isadora has a bit of an attitude. Maybe that will calm down once the hatchlings are older, and maybe then, they’ll join Daemon on some outings. d_[^_^]

 

 

Until next time…

Daemon’s First Photo Shoot

In the past two weeks, I introduced you to my new dragon, Daemon (I’ll introduce you to his mate and hatchlings next week [-_^]!).

This past Saturday, I decided to take Daemon out for his first photo shoot.  We went to the beach, which was blanketed in fog and mist.  It made the scene kind of dark and moody, perfect for a dragon.

I think Daemon really enjoyed watching the sea.  [^_^]

Daemon Overlooking The Sea 2

This is just the beginning of Daemon’s adventures.  Stay tuned to see what places he visits next!

Until next time…

Naming My Dragon!

September 1st. The start of a new month and the birthday of someone close to me. Happy Birthday!

 

Anyway, last week, my post was about my new dragon (not sure what I’m talking about, read last week’s post). I mentioned in said post that I needed to decide on a name for my new dragon.

 

Well, I think I’ve decided.

 

Meet Daemon (and no, my choosing this name has absolutely nothing to do with that horrid waste of television air time, The Vampire Diaries. I loathe everything about that show as much as I loathe Twilight. In fact, they‘re pretty much the same thing in my mind. [>_<])!

 

Daemon

 

Anyway, be looking for Daemon. He’ll be appearing in future photo projects!

 

 

Until next time…

I Found A Dragon!

Those of you that read my blog on a somewhat regular basis (all two of you) might remember me talking about photographing action figures and other toys.  I mentioned back then that I wanted to find a dragon for future toy photo projects and about how I had no luck in said pursuit.  I looked everywhere.  I did find some cool possibilities, but they were outside my budget (the one I wanted was $20!).  The only dragons I found that were in my price range looked more like dinosaurs or Godzilla.  Don’t get me wrong, Godzilla’s cool and all, but not for the projects I had in mind.  Plus, I don’t really consider him a “dragon”.

Well, that’s changed.

Recently, I found that the dragon I wanted was marked down 50%!  So, I grabbed it (it was the last one too)!  Now, I just need to think of the perfect name for him….

Me And My Dragon!

I can’t wait to start working with this little beastie!  Just holding him makes me feel like Daenerys Targaryen (that‘s right, I said it)!

Keep an eye out for him in future posts!

Until next time…
