Awesome homeschool stuff from Costco.

The dragon fly here measures in at about three inches and got caught up in the spider web - right away the spider went to work and did a complete number on the giant flyer. Wrap and rewrap to hold him in place then injected him. We saw this unfold near the roof of our house through a window and after a couple of camera shots i decided this wasn't a fitting ending to a noble mammoth dragon fly who catches lots of mosquitos for us each summer. So i rescued it.

The spider made a beeline out of the way and i freed DF from the web, and proceeded to disentangle all the webbing it had wrapped around its wings. I gave him 3 baths and lots of drinking water. He remained stunned from the poison and only made very slight movements. Between baths i left him for an hour on a rock, no sooner had i come back but another small spider decided to have another go at him. I squashed that one pronto and placed my dragon fly on an outside table safely under our porch.

Happy to report he was not there this morning. Full recovery. The spider has not yet rebuilt his web and i'm sure he's not in a very happy mood today.

I can understand why he might not want to cover up a pretty face like that with a mask.

At one point he had 3 worms and was pulling up a 4th when another Robin, let's name him "Robbing" for clarity, swooped down trying to grab this one's stash of worms. For every hard working bird, there's going to be another one waiting in the wings to shortcut the ordeal of labor.

Late in the season to have a family but the couple moved into my custom built log birdhouse last month and now have 3 new tweeters. Mom brings tiny bite sized bugs, Dad brings oversized quick food packages that he's loaded into the van from Costco. It takes 3-4 attempts for the little ones to swallow.

Macro Mondays - Candy

Didn't think I had any candy in the house, then I remembered the bag of Costco Trail Mix in the cupboard... wah lah!

HMM

seen from the parking lot of Costco in Richmond, you can have as many as you can cram into your camera screen and they are free!

Turns out there's a nature reserve on my way to Costco that I had never stopped at before. Here are a few photos I took there with my iPhone.

Shopping trip to Costco after work, Halloween stuff coming out already, it’ll be Christmas gear in a few weeks.

BNSF's 1st Watson, Y-WAT1011-12A, creeps down the Harbor Sub in Redondo Beach. On the left is LA Metro's Green Line (since renamed the K Line) which ends at a stub here. The 1st Watson will pause here behind the Redondo Beach Costco, perhaps for a chicken bake and/or a double chunk chocolate cookie.

Modern American scene.

Addicted we are. Maybe doomed as well.

We get a weekly delivery from Costco, and my wife always loads up on this medley of tomatoes. This pic is just after she rinsed them. If you get in the way when she's washing fruit or produce, or even near her, you will be in very big trouble. I always leave the area.

Costco does have everything ...

Even sunsets

I love shopping at our Costco in the early evenings

It's relaxing....

It allows us to unwind as we wander through the store

The parking lot has some of the best sunsets...

What you can't see in this shot is the construction of the new In n Out Burger... or the Freeway traffic on a Friday evening

Love it

This is my 200th to make Explore

Today after work A and I headed to Costco for some shopping. She was making all these crazy phases and insisted I take pictures. Of course i agreed. Here I had pushed her way out in front of me and she made this scream face.

My wife is super-focused on washing fruit and vegetables when they come in the door. This is part of today's delivery from Costco. Other than not having a flippy screen, I still find the Fuji X100F a lot of fun. #classicchrome

They seem to use a lot of Carnation Evaporated Milk in Newfoundland.

Another shot of the many pylons and cables around the substation.. Happy Telegraph Tuesday, Everybody!!!!!

I am a very lucky man. Costco just delivered to the house. This weekly event is a reminder of how lucky my family is. We certainly are a well-fed group. #classicnegative

Yes, I know some might consider this one inappropriate, but, dammit! why would someone go out in public in such attire?

One last post from the tulips shoot...it is barely discernable (mostly how I wanted it) but this is with the Godox VSA-36K and the little heart disc. The fill light cone is a little too harsh but...

Costco

When I visit the Costco in Abbotsford I am assured of seeing many Brewer's Blackbirds. Perhaps the population is getting too large as the last few months I have been seeing them in other parts of Abbotsford and now in the Columbia Valley.
