Awkward Family Cast Photos. This is how we got our first glimpse of the DS9 cast in 1992 - washed out, badly lit, poorly staged pictures that look like they came out of a Sears portrait studio!
A BDay Request + 43 Things
I’ve been wanting to do this anyway, but today’s my birthday – first one since I started this blog last fall – and I wanted to ask everyone to tell me what your Garashir story is and give me a link. (Or just the name if you cannot find the link.) Leave it in the comments or message me. Later I’ll post all the links. And read them, if I haven’t already.
Toucan play that game 😉 Toco toucan chicks hatched here for the 1st time in 32 years! Details: http://bit.ly/ToucanChix
Rhinoceros Iguana, like the photogenic one pictured above, are native to Hispaniola (Haiti and the Dominican Republic), and can grow up to 4 feet long! They’re covered in scales– small, hard, plate-like thickenings of the skin, which protect bodies and help reduce water loss. Unlike fish scales, squamate (lizards and snakes) scales are specialized folds of skin that help the animals warm themselves from external sources.
Clever solar collectors, Rhinoceros Iguana shift position as the sun moves to fine-tune internal temperature. They can live up to 20 years, and their ancient ancestors may have arrived at remote Fiji from Central America– more than 7,000 miles– on floating clumps of vegetation.
Rhinoceros Iguanas are now classified as vulnerable, mainly due to habitat loss. Today, it is illegal to hunt Rhinoceros Iguanas, and most populations are found in protected areas of the Dominican Republic. Learn more in the Museum’s Hall of Reptiles and Amphibians! https://goo.gl/2hdsX6
Orange Cat: [unfriendly/somewhat sharp meow]
Second cat slowly looks at the camera.
Man, filming, bashfully and sounding somewhat frightened: Sorry!
I’ve never fuckin seen a cat move like that, and it feels so goddamn eerie.
You go on. You just go on. There’s nothing more to it, and there’s no trick to make it easier. You just go on.”
“What do you find on the other side? When you go on?”
She shrugged. “Your life again. What else?”
“Is that a promise?”
She picked up a pebble, fingered it, and tossed it into the water. The moon-lines bloomed and danced. “It’s an inevitability. No trick. No choice. You just go on.
