The Animal Wall at Cardiff Castle
animal friends
Image by Athena's Pix
I was fascinated by this animal wall which I'd known nothing about. I don't know what the first animal is but he looked quite frightening leering down at me!

"One of the best-loved features of Cardiff Castle is the unusual animal wall. Originally there were eight of them; perched between the South Gate entrance and the Clock Tower. Seven more animals were added to the wall after 1928, when the original animals were moved after road widening in front of the castle. The polar bear became a bear and joined his new international friends the lynx, vulture, beaver, leopard, racoon, ant-eater and pelican - none of whom are native to Wales!"

What a Day [Day 7/7]

I'm super tired, and I just got home from the day's events, so forgive me for the late (again) upload.

My friend (who has also become Charlie's friend) Dan slept over on our couch last night. We all like hanging together, and I'm glad he's cool with Charlie and stuff.

Dropped him back up in my hometown (where he lives) after meeting up with my parents for breakfast/lunch at our favorite restaurant, did some laundry at my parents (YAY for free laundry... that I don't have to haul up and down 3 flights of stairs to do, like we have to do at the condo), cuddled with Katie (as pictured above), and played some rummy 500 with my parents.

I used my mom's camera to take this picture while I was up there.

Then I came back to the condo, and Charlie noticed that SpookyWorld had an opening weekend deal for tickets, buy one get one free, for admission to the park (it's a collection of haunted houses/amusement park that opens up for a month or so in the fall, in time for Halloween).

It was raining, but I don't mind rain. We spent a good 3+ hours there, got a LOT of exercise walking around. It was drizzling/misting the whole time, but I was okay with that. By the end, I was super sore. And my shoes were (are) all muddy and stuff, since there was a TON of mud because of the rain.

I will go through the 7 Days group and comment on a bunch of photos later. In a couple days, maybe, since we're really busy tomorrow and the next day.

There's a show that Charlie is doing light show projections for in Boston area tomorrow evening. Then on Sunday we're going to Charlie's grandfather's birthday party (who is desperately sick and this will most likely be his last birthday gathering after years of failing kidneys/dialysis, which is super sad, but he's lived a really successful life and such). And then on Sunday evening, possibly doing a local underground free concert. Busy busy. D:

I can feel my face stopping working right now, and I'm trying to type this as coherently as possible but I'm really, REALLY tired, sore, etc. And cold. I should probably put a shirt on. Tmi. Sorry.

Bye, 7 Days! It was an awesome run. <3

I'm super glad that this week ended on a better note than the rest of the feeling of the week. It's a struggle... life. But we get through it. :)


What's the Story?

So, is this a case a very extreme sexual dimorphism or is this a very brave spider of another species who thinks other bigger spiders will be OK with sharing? I was not able to observe them for long, but the big one (who owns the web) did not seem to care much about the other intruder.

When we took Beavis camping, it was right at the end of the season. It got a bit cold at night, and so Carolyn decided to invest in a sweater for next time. The only reason she got it was because PetSmart was having a sale on sweaters. Unfortunately, the only one that was small enough was pink!! "Get this thing OFF of me!", says Beavis.

Botanic Gardens - Resident Grey Squirrel

Botanic Gardens - Resident Grey Squirrel
animals that are extinct
Image by infomatique
There are two types of squirrels in Ireland, the red squirrel and the grey squirrel. The red squirrel is native to Ireland while the grey squirrel is native to North America.

The red squirrel (Sciurus Vulgaris) belongs to a large group of mammals called rodents (Rodentia), which includes rats and mice. They can vary hugely in all shades of red and brown to almost black, and their bushy tail at 20cm is nearly as long as their body. This tail helps them to balance as they climb and jump through trees.

A red squirrel is only half the size of a grey squirrel, and the long ear tufts are found only in red squirrels.

Their home (called a drey) is like a large bird’s nest lined with moss and twigs. Baby squirrels (kits) are born between February and August. There may be two litters in a year, with up to six kits in a litter. Few squirrels live beyond six years, due to starvation, disease, predation, or human interference with their habitat.
They do not hibernate, but rely in winter on buried nuts and small seeds.

The grey squirrel is also a rodent. Rodents are one of the most successful groups of mammals, with 1700 species. Most rodents are small, and all have strong sharp front teeth (incisors) which grow throughout the animal’s life. So rodents have to gnaw constantly at their food, which helps keep their teeth at the right length.

The grey squirrel is a good bit larger than a red squirrel. Measuring up to 48cm from nose to tip of tail, and about half a kilogram in weight, there is little difference between males & females. The thick coat is greyish-brown, with a slight reddish tinge in summer. The tail is grey, very long and bushy. The ear tufts are also much less visible than on the red squirrel.


The Grey Squirrel, introduced into Ireland , from North America remains the greatest single threat to current red squirrel populations. Competition from the grey squirrels generally result in the displacement of red squirrels from broadleaved habitat within 15 years.

In Ireland, the current population originates from a few individuals that were introduced into Castleforbes Estate, Co Longford in 1911.

Fortunately, dispersal of grey squirrels in Ireland has been slower than that experienced in England and Wales. This may be attributed to the existence of much smaller areas of broadleaved habitat, and fewer mature hedgerows which act as corridors along which the grey squirrels can travel. Both squirrels compete largely for the same food in a broadleaved woodland. Grey squirrels hold an advantage where food is limited, due to their ability to consume unripe food such as hazelnuts in October. The red squirrel, however, can only ingest ripened nuts, and therefore it is more likely to suffer from food shortages over the winter months. Red squirrel densities tend to be lower than greys, particularly where food shortages exist. This may be a direct result of lower breeding rates when the prevailing conditions are unfavourable. Where food supplies are plentiful, red squirrels appear to breed at similar densities to greys.

Red squirrels are one of the oldest native Irish species, in that they pre-date human history and were common at the end of the ice age when forests covered most of the landscape. However, it is widely believed that the red squirrel became extinct in Ireland in the early 1700's. Tree cover in this period had dwindled from 80% of the land area which occurred after the last ice age 10,000 years ago, to below 2% of the land area. Fragmentation of the remaining broadleaved habitat was probably one of the main reasons for the red squirrel's disappearance. The red squirrel was re-established at ten sites throughout Ireland, between 1815 and 1856, and these were derived from squirrel populations in England. They did very well and became common again in woodlands. However, in recent years, competition from the grey squirrel has pushed them once more down the road towards extinction.
There are 250,000-300,000 grey squirrels in Ireland, but only 50,000-100,000 red squirrels: the red squirrel is disappearing by 1% every year.

Seminole Canyon State Park, Val Verde County, Texas. One of the more remote state parks, tucked into the southwest corner of Texas about an hour's drive west of Del Rio.

This area has been inhabited since the very earliest days that humans set foot in North America, going back nearly 12,000 years - back during the last Ice Age when the land was more verdant with now-extinct animals still roaming the surrounding prairies and forest. But over the millenia, the climate changed to its current, arid desert landscape - and the Indians adapted.

All through these years, the local Indians drew pictograms all over the surrounding canyon walls and caves. In the dry climate, protected by overhanging rock walls, many of these pictograms survived through the ages. Some of the more famous sites, such as the Fate Bell and Panther Cave, are the feature attractions of Seminole Canyon, and can be visited by guided tour through the park.

However, I have not yet visited these sites - instead focusing on other areas of the park. On the first visit (March 9th, 2008), I arrived after the park had closed for the day. I walked along the short 'Windmill Trail', a small loop near the visitor's center. This trail leads down to a small year-round spring and the ruins of a water catchment system that was used by local settlers over the past hundred years.

The return trip (September 27, 2008) was much more fruitful - I chose to hike the Rio Grande River Trail, a six-mile out-and-back loop that leads to the far corner of the park, almost a stone's throw from Old Mexico. With recent rains it was fairly lively and green, with countless butterflies passing through on their annual migration. The trail starts alongside the original 'Loop Trail', the 1882 railroad alignment that was abandoned a decade later when a less strenuous route was forged and the Pecos River High Bridge was built.

The trail itself is pretty boring - a flat, featureless hike across a nondescript desert plain. But the main highlight of the hike quickly comes into view. There is a mile-long spur shooting off to the left called the Pressa Trail, which leads to an overlook looking down at a three-way intersection in the Seminole Canyon below. Here, the waters from Lake Amistad many miles away along the Rio Grande peter out; to the right, the waters are wide and deep, muddied from the recent rainstorms. To the left, the two forks of Seminole Canyon are mostly dry. From the top of the overlook, sheer cliffs lead staight down over a hundred feet to the waters below. The view is, well, *breathtaking* - and worth the trip.

Back on the main trail, a few miles later it comes to an abrupt end at the junction where Seminole Canyon merges with the Rio Grande. The location overlooks the Panther Cave pictograms, on the opposite shore far below, accessible only by boat. To the right, a few hundred yards away, are the hills of Mexico. Here, the water is deeper, the canyons steeper, the chasm wider. An impressive view, although not as amazing as the Pressa Trail overlook.

From here, it is a straight hike back along the south portion of the loop, my only companion a great horned toad trying to hide in the gravel of the trail. I would like to return to this park to take the guided tours, and there are other tours available nearby on private land to other pictogram sites as well. And I am told this park is also fabulous for bird watchers as well.

Dans la mythologie, le paon était l'animal préféré de la déesse grecque Héra (Junon chez les Romains).
D'après la mythologie grecque, les « yeux » visibles sur la queue du paon y furent placés par Héra pour commémorer son fidèle gardien, Argos, qui avait cent yeux (Ovide I, 625). Selon la légende, Argos fut engagé par Héra, jalouse de Io, une des nymphes courtisées par son époux Zeus (Jupiter), qu'elle soupçonnait d'adultère. Elle transforma la jeune femme en génisse et confia sa garde au géant pour espionner son époux. Argos possédait cent yeux et en gardait cinquante ouverts qui veillaient en permanence tandis que les cinquante autres dormaient, de sorte qu'il était impossible de tromper sa vigilance. Lorsque Zeus s'en rendit compte, il envoya alors Hermès le tuer, et délivrer Io. Héra décida de rendre hommage à la fidélité du géant Argos en mettant ses cent yeux dans la queue de son oiseau préféré, le paon.

The peacock is mentioned in Greek mythology. It was the bird of Hera, queen of the Gods. One myth told of Argus, Hera's hundred eyed giant whose job it was to spy on Zeus and discover his trysting places. When he discovered Zeus with the maiden Io, Zeus changed Io into a cow to escape Hera's wrath. Hera saw through the disguise and requested the cow as a gift, and Zeus could not refuse her. She entrusted Argus to watch Io day and night so she could not be changed back to her true form. Zeus then sent Hermes, messenger of the gods and god of thieves and trickery, to recover Io. Knowing that he could not escape detection from Argus' 100 eyes, Hermes began to play sleepy tunes on his flute and one by one Argus' eyes closed and he fell asleep. Hermes then cut off his head. When Hera found Argus, she removed his one-hundred eyes and placed them on the tail of her favorite bird, the peacock.

My 365 for today, a praying mantis after a hunt. Sadly I missed the actual kill, but it's still the first time I've ever seen a praying mantis eating another insect. Pretty damn cool.
