Alyssa's Dress

Today, I snapped a picture of Alyssa in her dress. She really loves this dress, and likes to spin around when she wears it, because of how it flairs at the bottom when she does. My mistake was to snap this in the evening, after she got a chocolate ice cream stain on it, rather than in the morning, when it was clean.

Ducks

Today, we stopped in Stillwater for lunch and to let Alyssa feed the ducks and geese. These pictures were taken at the duck pond on the campus of Oklahoma State University. Here's a picture of one of the many ducks.



In this last shot, I've got a large portion of the duck pond with many of the ducks and geese in it.

Saturday at Exploration Place

On Saturday, we went to Exploration Place. This was like a big kids museum, with lots of cool things for the kids to do. My first picture was taken at the water pool. Alyssa is throwing a duck back into the pool in this shot.



In my last picture, Alyssa is standing inside a big bubble.

Which Way Do I Go?

I spotted this sign while I was riding my bike over the lunch hour. Which way does the bike route go from here? Will I be out of luck and end up lost, if I choose incorrectly?

A Beaver's Work . . .

Today, I snapped a picture of a beaver dam that I found during my lunch hour. This is a dam they built, which was pretty impressive. The water above the dam was about a foot and a half higher than that below.



Here's another picture I snapped of their tree cuttings.

Bamboo Forest

I snapped this picture in a patch of bamboo growing in a city park near my office the other day. I really like bamboo for some reason. Maybe it has something to do with having a daughter from China.

Black Widow

When I got home from work yesterday, I found this Black Widow spider near the front door.



I thought he'd make a great picture for this blog, so I scooped him into this jar.



Here's a closeup of the spider.
