Kitten On A Mission

Look at this cute kitten. Isn't he/she adorable as ever? When I first saw it I wanted to reach out and hold it in my arms it's so cute looking.

The more I looked at this picture the more I thought about it and what the kitten is doing. It has that look of determination like it's on a mission of some kind and was going to win no matter what.

What do you think of when you see it? Does it make you smile? It made me smile instantly and I'm still smiling! :)

Happy trails everyone!


To Kill a Mockingbird or Not

This was sent to my phone this week by a friend and I got a big chuckle from it as I looked at the kitty and the look on it's face, and what book it was reading. Too funny! I don't know where this originated at but whoever made it deserves a big thank you and a big hug too, as it made my day and my friends too as I sent it to them all.

Happy trails everyone!

Calvin Grows Up


This depiction of Calvin as a grown up young man takes me back to when my mom died almost 12 years ago and it can make you sad in a way, but happy too, as I have often opened old boxes of my old toys and dolls, and some things my mom had too when she was younger and reflect on my younger self, just as Calvin is doing as he reflects back to his good friend Hobbes.

If you didn't know already, Calvin and Hobbes is my favorite cartoon to read and laugh upon.

Happy Trails!!

Giraffe Necked Weevil


This is a cool looking insect. Have a closer look at it and you will see it's an insect you don't see very often if at all. This particular species lives in Madagascar, Africa and I've seen one there when I was in Africa last year. They are very small, just under an inch in length, the males having a longer neck than the females, most 2 to 3 times larger. When breeding, the females lays one egg, much like a chicken does, just not multiple ones. For only being an inch long, it gives the appearance of being a bad-ass bug of the beetle family of insects.

Happy Trails!!
