Hermit Crabs

I while ago I meet these three adorable little boys, who each had gotten a hermit crab for Christmas. I had hermit crabs as pets when I was younger. I was terrified of them! I would stare at them while they were in there tank, and day-dream about holding them, but would never do it unless forced.

These poor little creatures didn't last long in my house. One day my mother was trying to crack open a coconut with a hammer, the hermit crabs were in there tank on the other side of the table. Every time she would bring the hammer down on the coconut the tank would move closer to the edge of the table until--CRASH!! I don't remember asking for pets after that....

First Snow

We got snow here in NY the weekend before Christmas. I was in NJ at my fathers house when the storm began, these were taken in his driveway. I upload these now because I'm lazy and just finished editing them, and there is another snow storm on the horizon.

Is it a bumble bee?

Before school started back in August I took a trip to NJ to visit my father for his birthday. I notice this feeder hanging from a tree facing one of there windows that I found out was for Hummingbirds. I was crazy excited until I was told that the tiny birds are usually only see in the morning. I am not a morning person and I was leaving that night.

Luckily one of my brothers notice the birds(there were two) having a afternoon snack. I stayed by the window for about 5 minutes and caught this shot. This birds are very small and I would have swear it was just a very large bumble bee if I wasn't told other wise.
