I was sitting on the balcony outside my bedroom when I heard a ‘thud’ (actually it was more like a ‘plop’). When I looked down I saw that a wasp had fallen and was thrashing around on the floor. As I looked more closely I noticed that it was not one wasp, but two – and they were fighting like crazy. I took some pictures and then left – they were still locked in combat. I looked back later and didn’t see any wasp corpses so I guess they must have sorted out their differences.

I’ve posted a number of pictures of my new cat lately. I think my dog, Harley should have equal time. My much neglected garden is now looking a lot better, the weather was nice so I decided to sit outside for a while. As Harley did his thing I took these pictures. And yes, I know he needs grooming.

I was walking the dog by this nearby pond when I spotted two geese. I considered taking a picture, but then thought to myself: “Do I really want to take yet another picture of a couple of geese swimming serenely around on a pond?” My answer was: “No” and I started to walk away. I took a look back and noticed something a bit different about these geese: there was actually a third goose, or to be more precise, a gosling. I have a weakness for small cute furry creatures so I couldn’t resist.

You’ll notice in this final picture that there are three geese and a gosling. The third goose, the one on the top right, was either trying to getting into the picture (unlikely) or angling for some food (more likely). Whatever it was the other two didn’t much like it and again and again aggressively chased it away, only for it to return.
