This little guy is the best pan handler in the world. Much cutter then the average bum on the street. If I ever become homeless I will do my best to look and dress like this guy.
During a visit to the ER for a high fever, a nurse used a diaper to cover an IV that he desperately wanted to yank out
Yep....Critter.

Lightbox looks good as well
A marmot that paid our campsite a prolonged visit. See more photos and read the story of our visit to the Downton Creek area at www.deanhebertphotography.com/apps/blog/show/prev?from_id...
The dogs spend there day searching the grass for mice and I had to laugh when I found Critter hiding/sleeping in a grass tuft.

Well, the charter to Bag Bag Island is off. There have been several small craft lost at sea in Astrolabe Bay over the last few days. There's a fierce nor'easter blowing and the chow is reported to be up to three metres. I'm poor and wild, but I'm not completely insane. The money was good, but the risk too great. As soon as I told my good friend Trevor Hattersley about the charter he called me back several times to talk me out of it. That is what good mates do. Thanks, Trev.
So, I find myself presently incomeless, but safe and dry.
Therefore, let me attempt to entertain you for a few minutes with some miscellaneous pretty pictures and some verbal rambling. This Coral (Lobophyllia hemprichii) is not the stuff of of raw excitement, but it's interesting to speculate how something that looks like this is actually alive: I' reminded of the old Star Trek episode in which the rocks were sentient, albeit slow movers.
Aft a few thousand dives and more time underwater than most people spend at church in a lifetime, you get to the point at which you can make educated guesses. Here's a shot of a motion-blurred Oriental Sweetlips (Plectorhinchus orientalis) and terror-frozen Many-Spotted Sweetlips (Plectorhinchus chaetodonoides): I knew how this shot would play out. The Many-Spotted Sweetlips will freeze for a while when it spots you. It will try to hide by pretending not to be there. "Look at me. HAH! Can't see me, can you?" Then, as it slowly sinks in that it's being observed, it will begin to swim away, usually without too much fuss. The Oriental Sweetlips, however, is easily panicked and makes haste to use the nearest escape route. I could see around a corner the the two fish were slowly finning in the sluggish current side-by-side. As soon as I popped my head up over the top of the coral bomie, the spotted fish froze for a moment and the Oriental Sweetlips headed for the door - thus the blurry fish image.
You've seen these fat slugs before. It may not sound politically correct to call them that, but that's exactly what they are, so it's okay: It's a Sea Cucumber (Thelenota ananas), a particularly pink one. They are usually more brownish. Possibly it has a fever.
Sometimes I need to show you a really bad image just so that you can see that underwater photography is a crap shoot. This is a Blacktip Shrimpgoby (Cryptocentrus polyophthalmus), a fish which I seldom see: I knew the shot would be awful, because the fish was back in a hole and I couldn't get close. Nevertheless, it's the only image that I have of this species. I'm not bursting with pride.
This, however, is a nice little reef scene with a couple of make Purple Anthea (Pseudanthias tuka): When I saw these two, they were engaged in a little ritualised sparring. I snapped the shot as they were returning to their corners for a time-out. That's why they are swimming away from each other.
Here is a perfectly beautiful image of a nudibranch that I still can't identify: I'm going to have to invest some money in a better nudi book.
You've seen these Divaricate Tree Coral (Dendronephthya roxasia) here several times. I've mistakenly called them Diverticulate Tree Corals elsewhere. Gonna have to fix that: The one above is particularly nice. Good, symmetrical shape, rich colour; I like it.
Enough of the fishy stuff. Let me show you two UFOs that I caught on camera the other day. Actually there may be three, a big green one with an orange one riding on its back and a purple one up higher: I yelled at them, but nobody came down to visit. If there were aliens aboard, they must be a snooty lot.
Of course, all that is wishful thinking. The coloured blobs are obviously lens flares caused by internal reflections within the optics of the bright orb of the sun.
Someday I'll show you my real UFO shots. They'll blow you away!
This is coach, trainer, IFBB Pro, and overall nice guy Critelli “Critter” Scatolini. He’s been working out since like forever and doesn’t take any artificial growth inducing “supplements” (and I use that term very loosely) to build his physique. He believes in building bulk naturally and, quite frankly, I wholeheartedly agree with him.
Talking to him and realizing that he consistently competes with a whole field of competitors that, in my opinion, have artificially increased muscle mass is very impressive. After all, shouldn’t body building competitions or any type of competition be about skill, talent, and overall natural ability?
So why anybody wouldn’t be impressed by his accomplishments is beyond me. I know I am and I totally respect him for that.
And now the photo geek info:

I made this Critter House out of cardboard boxes, paper mache and scrapbook paper. I followed this tutorial.
