I still can't get the Musee d'Orsay place out of my mind

I suppose the title needs no further elaboration. This video was taken in late October of 2007. Just let me say the next time you're in Paris, skip the Louvre and its lines -- go to the Orsay.

Plan to spend a half day and get the audio guide.

Praying Mantis on our window

If truth be told -- and right here it will be -- I've never seen a praying mantis outside of some "insectarium" or other controlled world. Susie first caught sight of this guy (or gal) and we had to record it for posterity. Impressive creature.

If I were a bug and found myself within eyeball-ranger of this baby I'd sweating bullets or whatever insects sweat.
