Dog Eat Cat Food World??

The first two photos here are of the same thing. Neither is better than the other so rather than choose...

What they are, of course, are photos of goldfish cat food fed to goldfish. I thought the whole thing rife with irony so I grabbed my camera and took these.

The photos turned out cool beans on their own without the explanation...

But the explanation is this- Goldfish food is made the same as cat food only they "flake" it and charge a lot for it. Cat food is a fine substitute for goldfish food, and, if you can buy cat food in the shape of goldfish, all the better.

But you have to keep the dogs locked up while you are feeding goldfish cat food to your goldfish, or they will eat the goldfish that float on the surface above the goldfish swimming beneath and sometimes even get in and swim in the pond with the goldfish to nibble the cat food turned into goldfish food turned dog food-- all shaped like a goldfish-- kibble...

It's all so deliciously cartoonish, idn't it?

On other fronts, here is one of Lake Selmac's "oooo oooo birds".

I call the several magnificent birds we have around the lake "oooo oooo birds" because that is what you tend to say when you come across one of them. We have a Great Heron and a couple of white cranes and a kite that hovers over the lake and dives for fish.

This is that damn heron getting away from me AGAIN...

He (I think he's a he) refuses to hang out on the same side of the lake as me. Perhaps my dogs came across him several years ago and gave him a bad disposition towards us? I don't know. All I know is that I've never been able to sneak up on him for a good photograph, because every time I get close, he up and flies to the far side of the lake.

Bastard.
