A Lesson In Life

'Scurry, Sniff, Flinch!'

That is a quote from Lion King 1 1/2 describing just what meerkats are supposed to be doing.  I don't really know what a meerkat does throughout the day, but I do know that they are pretty cute, and fun to watch.

This weekend I took a trip to the zoo.  I haven't been to the zoo in a couple of years, and it was really a lot of fun!  While I was there, I took some great pictures of these scampery little creatures.  This is one of my favorites:

KING Of Ernest Hemingway's House


At Ernest Hemingway's house in Key West they have over 30 of his cat's descendants roaming around the grounds. If you like cats like I do, I'd make a point to go visit even if it's just to see the cats! The reason I'm even posting this picture is not because I'm into Ernest Hemingway but because cats are cool! Case in point the above picture... I took this shot in Ernest Hemingway's bedroom during a tour. No I wasn't part of the tour because I wasn't interested. I was merely passing through when this cat jumped on the roped off bed as if to say what are you going to do about it. I love that attitude in cats!This cat obviously knew that this was his owners house therefore he was going to sit in the middle of his owners bed like he was king of the house! Does this sound like way your cat behaves? I know Queen and mascot of this blog is no exception.

Photo Of The Day: Sunny Night


Sometimes it's fun to imagine, sometimes it's fun to tweak with photos. Obviously, I tweaked this photo to make it look like the sun was out in the black of night. Although we do forget, being tiny specks that we are on a tiny speck in the spiral arm of the Milky Way, that the sun is in the blackness of space. We just don't see it that way because we are bound to the Earth...well obviously. While we are speaking of the Sun, a great movie about the Sun if you haven't seen it is Sunshine.

There Really Is An App For That: Instagram


First and foremost, happy 4th to everyone! I thought the first picture was appropriate for the occasion, in order to show off another cool app that I discovered. It's called Instagram and it's of course on the iPhone. Another great thing that you'll be happy to hear is that it's completely free meaning there's not even any ads and that's sometimes rare.

What is Instagram? Obviously it's a picture app but it's also so much more in that it's a photo sharing app.  What's great about this, is that you can apply 16 awesomely cool special effect filters to any photo you choose from your phone's library or a photo that you take, then share them on an Instagram social network, Twitter, or Facebook.

The following is just a few examples of the special effect filters that you can take advantage of with before and after examples:
