Photographers have been drawn to animal subjects since the invention of cameras with dogs being number one in my opinion. Searching through estate lots of amateur slides, I find just as many dog photos as I do ones of babies. These photos are all from the 1960s. Photographers unknown.

I have pretty much skipped the garden centre this year and have been attempting to grow everything from seed.  So far the only things growing are herbs and Marigolds.  The bunnies have pretty much eaten all the veggie leaves that have sprouted and the squirrels literally dug up and took off with the peanut plant. I don't mind. I enjoy seeing the little critters and don't mind if they help themselves to a snack. So until something else pops up in the garden I will be snapping Marigold pictures.

This slide from the early 60s has Lady and the centipede written on it.  I would love to know the story behind this. Is it real? Did she find it in her food ? Why does she look so pleased at her find?  The pattern on her sleeves kinda looks bug-like to me so maybe this is a party for entomologists.
