#Arachtober 3rd - Centruroides vittatus - Striped Bark Scorpion
First time finding a scorpion in our house yesterday afternoon, how fortuitous! Here's a sneak peek of our tiny visitor - possibly more shots to come later in the month.
The rears of how the design and build has developed of two types of similar product.

A way of the past as Canada Post makes more pick up stations all over the country. I found this while looking for something else. You know I love ladybugs!
Or perhaps I should ask "How do you take pictures in the pouring rain without getting shmutz on your lens?" I know "Practice, practice practice."
My Dr. suggested that I look into this cookbook after my appointment the other day. Still trying to decide if I can fully embrace the idea of paleo.
PS - clearly wardrobe decisions were poor today.
“How I wish I was like the water,
Flowing so freely with every drop
Let my every emotion wonder,
No need to start, nor even stop
How I wish I was like the fire,
Burning with every flame up
Leaving a trace of hot desire
As a Phoenix raises its' wings up
How I wish I was like the earth,
Raising each flower from the ground
Seeing the beauty of death and birth
And then returning to the ground
How I wish I was like the wind,
Hearing each whisper, sound and thought
A lonesome and wandering little wind,
Shattering all that has been sought
Oh, how I wish I was where you are,
Not separated by empty space, so far
It seems like we're galaxies apart,
But we find hope within our heart
And how I wish I was all of the above,
So I can come below and yet forget,
The beauty of angels which come down like a dove
And demons who love with no regret.”

This is a scene from Sarah Seely's production of "How To Disappear Completely." Based on hearsay, nostalgia, and only the finest in American propaganda, "How to Disappear Completely" is a satirical romp through the Cold War, Red Scare, and life in fear of... the bomb. From the desk of Sarah Seely invites you to spend a moment away from the unprecedented consumerist frivolity of today's war-faring United States to take a trip back in time to mid-20th century America - an era when, in the shadow of nuclear annihilation, families bar-be-qued on backyard patios, mothers shopped for the latest in space age home management technology, and everyone tried to keep up with the Joneses. At times bawdy and hysterical, alarming and outrageous, "How to Disappear Completely" incorporates elements of dance, theater, burlesque, video, and just a touch of audience interaction into a series of vignettes set in cocktail parties, war trenches, and grade school classrooms. Cleverly placed advertisements along with the hit music of the day provide the feel and comfort of the classic television you grew up with, and the safety of knowing that while the mushroom clouds are bursting forth outside your bomb shelter, you too can keep a positive attitude and a winning smile. Written and directed by Sarah Seely. With excerpts from “Duck and Cover” by Archer Productions, Inc. and the U.S. Federal Civil Defense Administration, 1951. Choreographed by Sarah Seely in conjunction with the performers. Performed by Amy Baumgarten, Jonathan Ciccarelli, Adam MacLean, Brian Maloney, Flanagan Smith, Moira Stone, and Julie Turner. Music by Patrik Phalen. Video by Nicky Enright. [Photography by Dominique James. Copyright © 2008. All rights reserved. For authorized use only.

I...am going through a personal crisis? Not an identity crisis but that's the first thing I could think of. I lie awake and I question everything about myself until I end up questioning if I even exist. Not if I deserve to. But if I do.
I feel emotions like joy, love, caring. I know I am loved, I know I am cared about and I know people want me around. But why? I'll stop in the middle of everything and realise I don't deserve the beautiful and amazing soul's I have come to know. Who bring out a side of me that I never knew could existed. I care about them and want the best for them, I will fight anyone willing to destroy that. Growing up I slowly believed I wasn't deserving of this. I had it slowly drilled into me that I was the cause of everyone's suffering around me and I just needed to avoid everyone so no one was ever hurt.
I was taught I am someone who pain comes from. Not love. I was taught that I was a monster from such a young age.
Alot of the time I still believe it, I don't want to but I do. I don't want to hurt people and I'm so scared about hurting them that the idea is always there. What if I fuck this up. What if I ruin everything. What if I end up all alone.
I cling to everything that hurts. Thinking I'm protecting everyone else around me but instead I just hurt myself more and more and more. They weren't in danger from me but I still do it. They still stay by my side and show me love and caring and they talk me through whatever I need talking through.
I don't feel like I deserve them but I know I do at the same time and it's like two different people are screaming inside of me while a third just yells that the whole thing inconveniences them. They have better things to do than deal with you.
I feel like I'm just there. But I have this whole life where people want to be around me, spend time with me, talk to me. And not just because they're forced to.
I'm probably repeating myself alot but it's 9am and I haven't been sleeping. I'm too scared to, it keeps me up and I'll be stuck in silence hearing everything on repeat. I cling tighter and tighter trying to hold in everything that hurts until it starts to kill me from the inside and I can't take it anymore. I just wish all of me could accept people's love.
Sorry if this was too much of a rant. But this needed to be written, I poured my soul tonight into this photo and I didn't want to just leave it to be another photo.
If you did read it, thank you. I hope you have a beautiful day and if you go through the same as me I hope you too can accept with all your heart that you ARE loved. We all have our own battles and we might not have physical scars but the mental ones last so much longer.

Dunvegan, Isle of Skye
We passed this on the way to Dunvegan castle on the minor road A850. What's a lone bus shelter doing in the middle of nowhere. It's a major hike to the nearest isolated house let alone nearest village. In fact I've seen more life in Chernobyl than many parts of Skye we drove through. It was the lone chair that made me stop to take a picture... how considerate I thought, I can only assume the bus service isn't that frequent - maybe every other Tuesday.
Having said that I was nearly run over by... 1 local bus, 1 mini-tour coach, 2 cars and a delivery van all within the space of a couple of minutes. Maybe I'd stopped at that 'other' Tuesday!
But to be fair, it might look like a right sh^thole but round my way a bus shelter doesn't stay in one piece for very long so one should be grateful for small mercies. With Skye's mini monsoon weather this must be a godsend, providing you don't mind sharing with the odd sheep!
How many roads, how many places, how many miles? All gone, far away in the past. But they are not useless. Now they are all together at the dock, helping other people to get home safely, and sharing their memories. They are riding their last trip, a quite different one, against time.
Hey there! I got some time to write a new article for my blog. If you have nothing better to do - please have a look. Wishing you a great upcoming week!

How to take control of your self-narrative for a better, happier life.
Edited magazine cover, New Scientist, 7 Jan 2023.

Grizzlies comparing their jaws is a sign of assertiveness. These cubs will start doing this, then one will swat the other with an oversize paw and then it blows up into a full blown wrestling match.
It seems that animals know just how far they can go before one or the other gets hurt. I've seen them take a scratch on the nose or lose a clump of hair but usually they roll around, try out a variety of wrestling holds and then fifteen minutes later they go back to eating or just sit down exhausted near their mother.
Do you know what everyone was looking at? The Calgary Ribfest was taking place at Eau Claire market in beautiful downtown Calgary. Many stalls with delicious BBQ ribs and other foods were there. But this group didn't go to the Rib BBQ stalls, instead went to an ice-cream shop and got ice-creams only for the humans :))
