Summer Bummer

Posted by Exer on Thursday, July 1st, 2010

We’ve been having rain, rain and more rain the past couple weeks. Looks like it may be a typical wet Alaskan summer. Not that I should be all that bothered by it, since I’m not actually working outdoors at the moment. What do I really have to complain about, mowing the grass too often? I [...]

Alaska isn’t always a winter wonderland, covered in feet of snow. We are a green, green state, for a few amazing months of summer.

Puppy Tales

Posted by Exer on Thursday, June 10th, 2010

OK, well he isn’t exactly a puppy anymore, but that doesn’t stop me from calling him “pup” every now and again. Whenever my mom stops by to visit she calls him “grandpa”, but that’s just because she is evil and likes to pick on helpless animals. Yup. Anyway, here is my PUP out enjoying the [...]

This little lady decided to land on my brothers hand while we worked on his car in the driveway. She wasn’t in any hurry to fly away, so we grabbed a camera and decided to try out the macro lens.

If You Musk

Posted by Exer on Sunday, April 18th, 2010

Every day is a lazy day for a muskox at the Alaska Zoo. It must be a lonely life. I went with my cousin, who kept saying things like “They want to be free!” every time we would reach a new exhibit. It annoyed me at the time, but looking back on the photos I [...]

O’ Green World

Posted by Exer on Wednesday, July 8th, 2009

So the aquarium is still doing well.  The Winter Wisteria is getting a little overgrown — have to trim that up soon — but other than that everything is looking good.

My most recent addition (The Clown Loach) is doing well, he is about as large as the catfish now (the white fish you see in front).  He is eventually going to get pretty large, so I may have to consider upgrading my tank again at some point.  Always a fun prospect!

I think with the next iteration of aquarium I go with, I’ll be upgrading to slightly larger fish.  I love my little Ember Tetras, but they are just so tiny that they get lost among the plants.  Hard to enjoy them when you can’t see them!  Not to mention that I can’t add 99% of larger fish to the tank because the Embers would simply make an appealing snack for them.

I have a perfect balance at the moment, all non-aggressive fish — but it would be nice to have a little more variety in the future.  Some day, some day.
