Mysterious flowers

Last year, I went to an event at my old school where they created a garden across the street. Here are some of the pictures and videos I took.

It was a lot of work to get all the plants in the ground and ready!
We had to clear a bare spot on the ground, and then dig a hole, and then put the flower in!

Press play to watch this video of my friends planting flowers, plants, etc. etc.


Mysterious flowers: Can anyone tell me what these are?
I like to take pictures of interesting things, and who ever can tell me what these plants are is really interesting!

Yarrow, I think. It looks really pretty when its alive, but it gets REALLY
 ugly when it wilts and gets all zombie-like!

I don't exactly what this is, but I think its some kind of tree-thing.

Crazy hartfalm cats 2

                  My cats do crazy things all the time! Koneko (right) is particularly fond of drinking out of the dog's water bowl ( below right) and trying to eat stuff on the kitchen counter.( below left ) Kobota, (below right) likes to get the sheets all hairy!                                                       

Chicken training 1

Me and my friend try to train my chickens so that they don't run away from you. One of the calmest chickens is Little Hawk (left). He is being trained to sit on our shoulders. Another good practice chicken is named Eagle. She was one of the first chickens I ever trained. One of my other friends (below left) is good at training Echo, who was a chick we found away from his mother.The training program was mostly last year, but I'm going to start it up again in the spring.
                                                                                                                     

My friend Evy helped a lot with training Echo.

The trip from Pennsylvania to North Carolina

Every year, I go to my grandfather's house for the fourth of July with my family. Here are some of the pictures I took on the way too North Carolina in the summer of 2010:   Through the car window.




Berries that I found when we stopped for lunch.                                
                                                                                                      













Haystacks. My dad took a walk in this field while we ate.

Crazy hartfalm cats 1

 My cats are named Koshka (right), Koneko and Kobota (left). Last year, Koshka caught a dragonfly and ate it, and Kobota  got so fat she looked like a beach ball (actually she still looks like that) ! Koshka would make his ancestors, the Panthera leo, look like cute, cuddly kitties!
Kobota like to strangle people too, but Koneko is as sweet as pie (below left).
                                  

                                                                     

The National Zoo

Here is a picture of me (right) at the National Zoo in Washington DC.  It's the only picture that I didn't take on this page. 

A keel-billed toucan (left) is at the zoo bird house. There is even a baby kiwi there, though we did not see it.

 

A giant hermit crab (above) dances for joy at the sight of food.

An  giant pacific octopus (left) takes its morning meal.
                                     
                                A tiger (right) stops after having a drink at the pool.
All these animals live at the National Zoo in Washington D.C. Next time you go, remember to bring a camera!
