it's all in the way you look at it. sometimes you have to get off the bus and see it displayed on a table all by itself. then you realize for the first time that it has a color, a taste, a shape, a smell. you realize it because the spargel on this table has a different color, taste, shape, and smell then the spargel you've always known. but it's still spargel. and then you notice the sign advertising a spargel festival. and you think "celebrate spargel?" that's right...celebrate spargel.

It's a Weird World
Check out these interesting creatures that Jeff caught on film (ok, SD card) while we were hiking in Prince William Forest Park last weekend. Don't they look like they belong in some Japanese cartoon?
Just FYI: The caterpillar is a spicebush swallowtail caterpillar. I haven't yet identified the other bug.
ReplyDeleteThe beetle is an eyed elater. I highly recommend the site http://whatsthatbug.com if you want to identify any creepy crawlies.
ReplyDeleteI'm having seizures right now... damn animae (sp.) cartoon bugs!
ReplyDeleteWeird! I wouldn't like to see those in my house, but they are actually pretty cool looking!
ReplyDeleteUm, the caterpillar actually looks exactly like a pokemon.
ReplyDeleteYes, I did enjoy my Pokemon.
