(Not so) wildlife
Only about an hour out of Athens, at Sounio, I came across these interesting species today.
- A green lizard! Looks scary, but acts scared. Was really hard to get a picture of it. Very cool, I think!
- A bee, or wasp, that decided to build its nest or whatever that little thing is on one of my arts/crafts masterpieces.
- Arapina, the not-so-golden retriever (Mr. Bensah's favorite, if I recall), rudely awakened by the camera flash from her nap under the kitchen table.
- Aris, shot through my dad's new digital pocket camera's cheesy special effects.
- About a zillion mosquitoes that I didn't bother to take pictures of.
And I think more wildlife is to be expected any moment now on this blog!

Why do none of those critters seem nearly as surprised to be caught as you did to catch them? I guess they know sth you don't. This whole world is wild at heart and weird on top.
Oh, but you do know that.
Great pics. We don't need to see the mosquitoes -- let's leave them to the lizard.
The lizard looks plastic like the ones you find in kids toy shops (where you wouldnt know if a real spider lurked amongst the imitation ones). I am always amazed at where insects will nest -they certainly have an eye for an out of the way location (or is it just that they have such a short life span that they better just build the damn nest before they die - or get eaten by a big green lizard thing). Great photos.
PS Nice shots of Aris and the black retriever. Lochie says give Aris a pat from him (its safer than a lick).
is that lizard posing?:-) thanks for the name-check:-))
