For Christmas my bf's mom gave me this beautiful set of vintage china. Today I realized that the tea cups would be a lovely setting to photograph my pukis.
I've edited this picture in photoshop, trying to make it look a little bit vintage. I may try again some other time.
Hexatricha pulverulenta, commonly known as the squeaking longhorn, is a beetle in the family Cerambycidae, the only species in the monotypic genus Hexatricha. It is endemic to New Zealand. It was first described by John O. Westwood in 1843 as Lamia pulverulenta, and later moved into the genus Hexatricha (sometimes incorrectly spelled Hexathrica).
The squeaking longhorn is so called for the noise it makes, by stridulation, when handled. Female beetles lay an egg under the bark of dead or dying trees, especially Pinus radiata or New Zealand beech (Nothofagus). These hatch in 10–19 days, and larvae live under, and feed off, wood for perhaps two or three years.They pupate for 30 days, hatching from spring to autumn (August to April) into adult beetles which live for up to three months.Adults are reluctant fliers.

Yesterday we had rain all day and possibility of it drying out could be good but my cat is checking stuff out with his neck out - he don't like to get his feet dirty.

Wood Duck (Aix sponsa)
This drake Wood Duck was in constant communication with his Mrs. on this particular afternoon. This isn't a species I've spent a lot of time around so their call is still new to me. For my birder friends, it reminds me of a Pine Siskin; a high-pitched, whiny "wwhhhaattt?". For my non-birder friends let's just call it a squeaky toy that's lost some of its air :)
Sure are handsome birds, eh?
Since Squeaks is like Velcro I was wondering where the little guy was - he can't get out of the back yard anyway so when I look out the back door I find him.

A traditional English dish, dating back to the 1700's, which is made from leftovers, so popular after Christmas Day!
Comprising of mashed potato, Brussel Sprouts, peas and carrots, it can also include cabbage. Fried until golden brown, and served in this case with a cut of cold meats, accompanied by tomatoes and a helping of Branston Pickle.
