Terrorist Kitty

I fostered a cat that was between homes for a few days. She was a really nice cat, very pretty, very affectionate. However, she totally ruled the house and Poppet was completely terrified of her. The cat learned that if she sat in the hallway at the top of the stairs, she was at the center of all pathways and could therefore control the whole house. She also learned that if she sat ON the stairs, the dog could not go up or down. Here's Osama big Winkers, leader of that fearsome terrorist group Al Kattah, torturing her prisoner.

Poor Poppet, I should not be so amused at her expense. ;-]

Japanese Tea Garden

Posted By Christine Canelos Welsh

I thought that since it's already been a year since I've been out there, I ought to post some of the pictures I took in San Francisco. Here is a camilla from the Japanese Tea Garden. Nothing like a dose of color mid-winter.

A day at Muir Woods

Posted By Christine Canelos Welsh

You all have been posting such nice pictures. Sorry I've been so incognito lately. I'll try to catch up! :-]

Here are a few shots from a March 09 trip to SF which included a day at Muir Woods. Has it been almost a year already? My, how time flies.

If I'm not mistaken, this shot was taken from the road up to Mt. Tam. Some of these pictures are Mike's, but aside from the obvious ones, I'm not sure who took what anymore. wink

In my next life, I'm going to come back as a sea lion. Eat all you want, pack on the blubber, sleep in the sun. Ahhhh....

How I started the New Year

Posted By Christine Canelos Welsh

I guess should probably post these before the year gets too much older, but this was my start to the new year.. It was a gift from my dearly beloved husband and fellow Astromarter, Mike Welsh. Shedd Aquarium in Chicago, January 2, 2010. I'm in the pink tee-shirt.

Entering the "encounter pool". Hey, do these waders make my butt look big?? wink

Happy Family

Posted By Christine Canelos Welsh

Mike is still on the mend from back surgery, so when we went down to my Dad's farm two weeks ago we took the small scopes just for fun. In spite of the iffy weather, we had a couple of brief windows of opportunity for viewing. We had a good time hopping around to our old favorites and I even bagged a couple of Herschels. Here's our happy family:
