Pictures, water, meme

To make up for spamming you with BUGS last time, here are some flowers. (Fair warning: most of them are me screwing around with the pre-sets on my camera, so there are several shots of the same primrose bed from the same angle in "Expressive" or "Pinhole Camera" or whatever mode.)

( Primroses and Gerber daisies )

We also have BABY ROBINS. The first batch (there's another pair with a nest in the back yard who just laid eggs) have arrived at the "cute balls of fluff" stage from the "wow, you can really tell birds are related to dinosaurs—the ugly ones" stage. Here they are being very fluffy and cute and crammed into their nest.

( BEHBEHS. )

In other news, apparently the entire lower Mississippi is TAKING OVER THE WORLD. I saw an article speculate on the possibility of this flood being the one to make the Mississippi jump its banks and start sending most of its water through the Atchafalaya River, but I've also seen US Army Corps people and others who would have reason to know being interviewed saying that they don't think that'll happen. There is also this very interesting page on the assorted measures that have been used over the past century to keep the Miss. on its present course.

Finally, a meme from mylittleredgirl:

Give me a character, and I will tell you about a happy moment in their lives.

God knows I love writing happy, fluffy fic snippets, so I anticipate this will be highly entertaining!
