Pile of cucamelons, Melothria scabra. Each one is about an inch long and taste like a slightly sour cucumber. Growing in our home garden.

It was probably a macro photo that I took of a tiny flower that got me back into really enjoying photography again, so every once in a while I have to go back to my roots. (No pun intended) The little red part is no bigger than my wife's littlest fingernail.
The bottom of the sleeve closest to the cuff is split and hemmed, and there's a little pleat at the bottom where it goes into the cuff. I will add a tiny bit of the ultra thin velcro to secure the cuff and add a bead button to the outside (or maybe a pair for "cuff links"?), since if I simply sew the cuff closed, I'll have to remove his hands every time he wants to change his shirt!
I loved these 3. They were poking their heads out of this tiny hole. They looked so human and were paying a lot of attention to my camera. I want one...!

'Making war against terror a success'- Island Editorial
"Democracies, the world over have had to respond to threats from both within and without in a similar manner or concede victory to evil forces and perish in the process. Sri Lanka has, after years of oscillation between the two alternatives, finally opted for the former. Tiny as Sri Lanka may be in size, it has taken on the 'most ruthless terrorist organisation' in the world" says the Island in its Editorial published, today, Sep 2.
"The only way to judge the success of a war is to see if it makes life better for civilians after its conclusion. Land may be liberated from the clutches of a terrorist outfit through military means, terrorists killed and the writ of the government re-established in some parts of the country where it had ceased to run, but, if civilians do not feel their lot has improved at the end of the day, the war has failed", the editorial further stated underscoring the need to address the fundamental needs of the affected communities.
Following are excerpts of the editorial published in the Island daily, Tuesday, 1 Sep.
War is hell as General Sherman famously said after the American Civil War. All wars in this world have been fought at the expense of the unarmed civilians on the side of both the victor and the vanquished. War crimes usually become the crimes committed by the vanquished and not the victor, who becomes the judge, the jury and the executioner.
Military operations are like surgical operations: However desirous we may be of avoiding them, there come times when we have to face them whether we like them or not. The world was without an alternative to war in dealing with Hitler. Unless that psycho had been stopped in his tracks, albeit with some delay, he would certainly have made Jews of all the races in this world, save the one he favoured. Had the democratic world adopted the same appeasement policy as some nations that chose to lick his blood-stained Nazi boots in return for non-invasion and allowed him to do as he pleased, today's world would have become one massive concentration camp equipped with state-of-the-art gas chambers.
Democracies, the world over have had to respond to threats from both within and without in a similar manner or concede victory to evil forces and perish in the process. Sri Lanka has, after years of oscillation between the two alternatives, finally opted for the former. Tiny as Sri Lanka may be in size, it has taken on the 'most ruthless terrorist organisation' in the world. Ironically, although Sri Lanka is doing exactly as the champions of global democracy are doing elsewhere in dealing with terror, and its victory against the LTTE is sure to send a chilling message to other terrorist outfits threatening global peace, the self-appointed custodians of global democracy are all out to throw a monkey wrench in the works on the pretext of a humanitarian intervention to let the cornered Tigers off the hook. They, ably assisted by the pro-LTTE INGO/NGO lobby, are preparing the grounds for invoking the so-called R2P (Responsibility/Right to Protect).
The Tigers are on their last legs, having plunged the country into war in 2006. And the biggest challenge before the government is not capturing Kilinochchi or Prabhakaran but denying those members of the international community conspiring to help him by stopping the war an opportunity to achieve their goal. They are eagerly waiting for a humanitarian catastrophe in the Wanni to intervene and the LTTE is doing its damnedest to increase collateral damage and create conditions for that.
The only way to judge the success of a war is to see if it makes life better for civilians after its conclusion. Land may be liberated from the clutches of a terrorist outfit through military means, terrorists killed and the writ of the government re-established in some parts of the country where it had ceased to run, but, if civilians do not feel their lot has improved at the end of the day, the war has failed.
There are many backers of the on-going military offensives against the LTTE. But, sadly, among them, there is hardly anyone willing to make a contribution towards ameliorating the plight of the war-displaced, on whose wellbeing the success of war hinges. Various activities being done at a massive cost to boost the morale of the armed forces, who are already doing extremely well, should also be used to mobilise the public to help the war-torn populace. That is not a task that should be left entirely to a government. There must be popular participation in providing relief to the war displaced. Relief must flow into the Wanni from the four corners of the country!
Meanwhile, it is reported that the army has at long last released a small portion of land in the high security zone in Jaffna to the people for paddy cultivation. That is the way forward. Land liberated from the terrorists must be returned to the rightful owners without undue delay to bring it under the plough so that civilians will rest assured that they will gain from the defeat of terrorism. The Rice Bowl of Mannar and other fertile land which the army cleared of the LTTE must be handed back to the people as early as possible. That will be a blessing not only for the indefatigable industrious farmers in that part of the country but also for the whole country. For, the cultivation of those lands will give a boost to the national food supply.
The LTTE has got what it asked for and its terror machine is giving way under military pressure. But, the success of war-let it be repeated-consists in the ending of the civilians' suffering and winning their hearts and minds. Those who want the LTTE crushed militarily to clear the path to peace cannot absolve themselves of the responsibility for helping the war displaced. Will they rise to the occasion?

I was in Florida briefly over the weekend -- not too many photo opportunities (time constraints), but I did manage to wander down an isolated beach.
These shells were tiny -- the sand grains give a sense of scale -- and each one was perfectly formed.

Found a nest of tiny baby spiders on our trash bin, each of the small spiders are about as large as a pin head. The shot was taken with a +5 filter and a tripod.

This wee panda is 2cm tall (about 3/4 inch) - that's a penny that he's sitting beside! Fiddly, but worth it :)
Tiny presented to me with a lump on the side of his chest that had been there for two months. He was also finicky with his food. Surgery confirmed a grass seed lump and a fractured tooth.
Jackee and I have bought two houses since we moved to San Jose in 1983. We closed on the first house on Willow Street in January 1985 and then sold that house and moved to our current residence in 2010. We came across the Realtor flyers for both houses last week while doing a cleanout of the guest room closet. (We were sort of double sheltering in place because the outside temperature was pushing 100 degrees and there was nothing else to do.)
Both flyers are pretty funny. The Willow Street flyer brags about a loan at 13.06%. We actually paid 14.875% interest because we made a limited down payment to keep some cash for remodeling.
And it says the house had 1 full bath and 2 half baths. A stretch because one of them was a toilet and shower in the unheated pool house. The gas barbecue was a tiny gas jet with no burner. I used it to light charcoal in a charcoal chimney. And the quiet Will Glen street was a race track a couple of times a day since there was an elementary school at the end of the street with a busy drop off/pick up area.
Still, it was good house for us with a backyard that kept siblings and their kids busy in the pool during visits. And it appreciated about double the rate of inflation which made it possible for us to buy this house.
My handwritten notes on the Caledonia house flyer are what are amusing (at least to me). “Kitchen very dates.” “Yikes!” “Would need major remodel.” All those things were true and turned into eight-month plus remodel. It was more expensive that we ever imagined. I took all our energy for those five months.
And it was worth every dollar and minute.

Cute little pepper flower. I hope I get some fruit/peppers out of this plant. The peppers themselves should be a little bigger than a pea.
I think this is a weed.. these flowers were soooo tiny.. but I love how the red stems makes a lovely color for the flowers to sit against.
Tiny Baby Tom is only 3.5 inches and I made him from Prosculpt Polymer clay, I made his outfit too. He is on ebay right now. xx
GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN--This great little shabby chic bench is naturally distressed, and straight from the UK.
