Empty (t)
Conspicuously missing from its slip, is the Ocean Devil 666. The crew of the Angel was supposed to keep tabs on the Devil, but, they all had a little too much wine at last night's bible study and slept in. The Devil is on the loose.

Broken Bond (p)
When things are left unattended, they tend to break down. Then again, there are things that are tended too much and break down; like government.

Complaint (t)
Cormorant: "You've got to be kidding! I can't even spell Phalacrocoracidae let alone pronounce the word! Who in their right mind came up with that term as a family name? I can hear it now. Hi, I'm William Phalacrocoracidae! What's your name? the ospreys will be falling out of the trees at that one!"

Zeroing In (t)
All you have to do is keep moving. Don't even think about resting. Flutter your eyelids. Wiggle your toes.

Dark Meat
There was a little celebration the night before this shot was taken. Campfire, beverages, s'mores. This guy was the fire tender. He got a little close. He almost became part of the snacks.

The Disappearing Grain (p) (B/W)
It took him months, but, Shirklock finally solved the nagging case of the disappearing grain. Actually, it was pure luck! Wazon asked if Shirklock had noticed the band-tailed pigeons grazing for the past three months in the front yard? "By jove, Wazon! That's it! Get my violin!"

Dream On (t) (p)
Stan built his home right on the edge of the Puget Sound. He would never have to worry about someone building something that would obstruct his view. Unfortunately, ships existed and, sometimes, they anchored in one spot for weeks at a time.

Too Minimal (t) (B/W)
Theo loved stairs. His first home had lots of stairs. He even had a safe room with stairs. After the first winter storm, Theo realized what he had was a multiple level swimming pool. Theo needed a roof!

Gossip (t) (B/W)
Esmerelda didn't appreciate all the office gossip about mounting Baker. He was a pretty nice guy and it was a one night thing anyway.

The Grass Clan love to hang out at the lake. They spend their days frolicking in the water playing "Catch A Bug" and "Spot Toxic Algae". Great family fun.
