So as not to overload my email when I’m gone, please try to refrain from emailing me too often, though, as always, I welcome “readers’ wildlife” contributions and other items of great interest, for I get most of my good leads from readers.
And bear with me if posting is light for the next few days. After all, I’ll have cherry pie in my stomach and a cat on top of it!
…& a glass or two of booze no doubt to was it down! Enjoy!
Posting is light = 5 posts/day instead of 6. LOL!
More likely 7 instead of 8! 🙂
Thanks. I am attaching a recent picture of a whitetail deer eating water lilies. This is common behavior at our pond in Arkansas when the weather is hot.

David, you may email that to Jerry–look for his email address via Google or click on the Research Interests tab at the top of this page. 🙂
Poor Jerry. Cherry pie and a warm furry friend to snuggle with. Life is so hard.
Did I say it was hard? 🙂
I meant for us, not you!
And he’s getting out just before the Pope arrives!
Sounds like a good time. Hope you enjoy it!
“I’ll have cherry pie in my stomach and a cat on top of it!”
You’re going to eat the cat?!?
Say not so….. (or ask S. Pinker to edit your posts).
The antecedent was “stomach,” not pie!
When you eat something do you say it’s “on the top of” your stomach? Weird.
😉
Not quite, of course. But using the phrase “top it off”, as in “He topped off the dinner with a good cat, or cake, or desert”, is in common use(see http://www.tripadvisor.com/LocationPhotoDirectLink-g182183-d701725-i66844063-Aux_Truffes-Mont_Tremblant_Quebec.html
That was close enough to suggest the thought of an edible cat.
I see. I guess it depends on which idiom one focuses on. 🙂
As long as Hili herself is not “topped”
I have a long line up of buggy wildlife pictures to send, and I look forward to doing so. I think I can keep ’em coming well into the winter.
Have a good trip. You might be interested to know that the Darwin letter in which he denied believing in the divinity of the Bible or Jesus just sold at Bonhams for 160,000 pounds (the auction estimate was 70,000 – 90,000 pounds).
Sorry–dollars, not pounds. Still pretty impressive.
bon voyage
Jerry are you leaving the country because the pope is entering the country?! Just wondering😉!!
Have fun, Jerry.
